Okay, I apologize in advance: some people apparently are reading my own
words and they, too, are reading what's written instead of what's meant.
Irony, indeed.

Just to be clear: the wiki is NOT NOT NOT why I am resigning opensymphony.
I'm quitting opensymphony because I see myself as a relic in the project.
My attitudes towards the project and how it functions as a whole are not
in sync with anyone else's, from what I can tell, and the wiki issue
merely showed me that, blatantly. It's not even that I feel the attitude
in opensymphony that I don't share is wrong; it's just NOT MY ATTITUDE.
That makes me feel like I'm more of a barnacle than a contributor.

I have no desire to be an impedance. I've always tried to make sure my
contributions help rather than hinder, and as an outlier, nothing I say or
do is really relevant.

I also have no desire to be irrelevant, so I'm trying to bow out
gracefully. I really was not trying to fire a parting shot, honestly...
just trying to explain to interested parties who identify OpenSymphony
with me (and vice versa) why I'm divorcing myself from the project. If
anyone reads my resignation as a "He's still trying to get at us!" please
desist; I'm not. I'm going to continue as a user of opensymphony projects
as I've done since the beginning; I'm just not going to act in any other
way than any of the other users do.
