> Yet when a one-person team tries to provide relevant examples on the issues of dealing with Microsoft, pitching a potential solution, and offering their take on it -- fully open-sourced -- they get discounted as advertisement -- even though their service is free and open source. it's upsetting indeed. I'm 100% sure had he didn't mentioned SorceHut the same people would've complained instead that how there were no projects for improving mail based workflow, why didn't OP offer a suggestion, or that it's open source so why he didn't shut up and wrote a patch instead.
