I think this whole discussion is about te get completely out of control.
Anyone who wants to help promote Smalltalk in the IT world is welcome -
whether he or she has been in the Community for ages or came to it just
the other day.
Richard has been doing Smalltalk for quite a few years now, so we can
assume he knows what he's talking about.
All that's been said so far is that some people do not like the use of
some military terms, no matter where they come from and whether people
know what these mean or not. We are not on a crusade, and this is not
about conquering anything or anybody.
Let the facts speak and let's convince people with facts and deeds.
Richard, you make very strong claims about your achievements and plans.
There is nothing wrong with having plans, and we even love to see
results. Maybe you can share some facts before you say things like "I
achieved more in a few weeks than ESUG achieved in years". I'd be
curious to see what you are talking about and I guess I am not alone.
It would be great if what you say is true. Because it would mean you
achieved something that many people have tried over the years now.
So: just stop mixing your fascination for WWII and your efforts to
promote Smalltalk. I guess this will be very helpful in finding people
who cooperate and contribute - far more than the direction of this
discussion thread seems to point to.
