[plug] famous again

[Tamara Thompson]

Wow!  Congratulations, that is a magnificently articulate article.  

I had totally misunderstood your sig "many are cold but few are frozen".  I'd found it funny in a cynical sort of context with a recent story about the Pole.  oops.

I read a lot of stories and opinions and articles, usually find myself skimming them for the point or the meat, shoving the fluff out of the way.  But your article invites a full concentrated read.

Thoroughly enjoyable read, nicely tied together and smooth flow, with something that makes the reader want to know what the next line or paragraph will say.  

You know, as much as I think you captured the heart of the Open Source movement, honestly, this good of a writing might well have been about any topic, you're good.  

:)  But as a linuxer, well, I'm just damn glad you wrote it.  Inspirational and helpful.  

Okay, where's the digital 'tip jar'?  <smile>

Thank you,
Tamara 

ps: please try to enforce 'ego-control' while reading this. <grin>

Here was I thinking of the piece as discontinuous and uningenious, but the
feedback has all been positive:

Who here would like to collaborate on a Halloween Anniversary piece for OSO?
"Where we've come from there", touch on Mindcraft/Gartner etc and how even if
they had been unbiassed their results would now be unachievable. That kind of
thing?

I'd like to post an article from PLUG itself, rather than just an individual.
