This is pretty sweet, I haven't heard any negatives.
The flames don't come from mentioning commercial endeavors using free
software - you'll find very few people who are actually

Not negative.. I got jazzed and I didn't know if other people didn't because
it'd been done and I didn't know about it or what. That been part of the due
