I do want this device to succeed, and simply trying to cajole developers is not enough. Developers will write for this platform if they want to, and have the time.
I didn't say your contributions were limited to trolling and flamebaiting, michael, so no need to get your feathers completely ruffled. I'll gladly give you credit for the salient points, but by the same token, I'll also kindly and respectfully ask you to, as I did, minimize the drama exemplified in the hyperbole.

Your assumption that I "can't handle a dissenting viewpoint" is a prime example of what I'm describing. It's an inaccurate accusation, disingenuous, arrogant, totally unnecessary and serves only to place the other party on the defensive. It would be great if all of us, myself included, could work harder on avoiding such antagonistic fare and stick to constructive (even dissenting, which I'm sure we are ALL mature enough to handle) dialog.

If you wish to engage in flaming, I respectfully request you use private messaging.

On topic, I wholeheartedly agree with your last statements. See, wasn't that easy?

Thanks.
