Any project Andrew Norton disapproves of, is clearly one that I would
like to be involved in more. While some of the points are valid, the
root cause of the problems are not. This project is right now a group of
nerds who get their jollys by being technologically superior, but they
don't do it out of mallace, and everything I have seen from them is
signs they want to do better.

I have yet to see a project that you, Andrew Norton, have been involved
with that actually achieved anything. So not having your blessing of God
is probably not going to ruin this group.
