Having been mentioned one or two times myself - it was an unexpected
"wow - cool" rather than a grumpy/fragile "I must be noticed" thing. I
think some folk have forgotten the underlying principle of the open
source community - it is about freely giving - time or code etc. The
"there must be something in it for me me me" meme is - well - the
*other* world view.
It was supposed to be over the top. That doesn't make it any less true.
Sure there are plenty of us that don't have any of the ego petting
issues. However,t there are more of us in those of us that think we
don't, that really, really do.
Sincerely,
