Also without accuracy.  Or the insight which comes from being the author of
the s/w in question.

The majority certainly got what it asked for.  Nathan and his supporters
(to various extents) were in the minority.  We're leaving, either with
great fanfare like Nathan, or just slipping away (like me -- I haven't
read or posted in months).  Like Todd said, this n/g is being reduced
to self-congradulatory posts from the "victors".  The signal to noise
ratio is *worse* after Nathan's departure.

The steady departure of old-timers from this n/g is no good thing.
