Yes, there are lots of people in the world who like to knock things. That is there nature. They are not malevolent or assholes, they are just people with different points of view. You are a public figure in the UNIX world who has accepted a leadership role and must accept the responsibility of being big enough to take criticism. You know when the criticism is invalid just as the rest of us do. But that criticism will not hurt you or your efforts. I say, "Thank you!" and hope you will continue. -- George B.
