Nahh. Perhaps I should clarify. Basic philosphy:
"Look at me!" school yard chest thumping is unwelcome. Generic
trolls, put-downs, and other forms of cowed get-backs are unwelcome.
Interested discussion of relevant points, good and bad, of systems are
especially welcome.
I expect you to be proud of your own systems. I expect that pride
to show in your posts. I would be dissappointed if that pride were
*not* shown in your posts. This does not mean "Better than you, so
Nyahh!" schoolyard bully pride, this means, "I think we did a really
incredibly good job, and here's why...". I realise that you are
unlikely to either point out or overly willingly admit the glaring
design flaws in your systems. I don't expect that of uour
non-commercial members until their noses are rubbed in it either.
