Les, I wonder if you can write an email that doesn't contain an insinuation of 
conspiracy
or complaint. You started several months ago, as I recall.

Unlike the picture you paint, I see a great and largely happy community, 
flourishing and
growing every day, empowered by our software and with people generous beyond 
what anyone
could expect with their time and helpfulness. Your emails are just spreading 
negativity. I
question your motives. Cfengine has been going strong for 17 years on the same 
model --
what dead end do you think we are going to hit? Seriously.

Since you are still here, you must see the flaw in your own argument. It makes 
little
sense to bite the hand the feeds you. I suggest you use your energies to more 
constructive
issues and people will show generosity in return.
