The [H]omer award for COLA Advocate of the Week:

thad01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on the benefits of FOSS and choice).

,----
| Forks happen all the time. They are part of the darwinism of the open 
| source process. Sometimes they fail. Sometimes not. Sometimes they are 
| folded back into the main tree. Sometimes they go on and become more 
| successful than the original project. Any argument against developers 
| making these kind of choices is pointless as it goes against the entire 
| nature of the open source process... developers making their own choices. 
| Forcing some sort of artificial unity of purpose among projects would 
| undercut one of greatest strengths of OSS, the ability to experiment and 
| strike out in new directions while still building on the work of others.

[1]: Posts via mail to news gateways are dropped by this server
     and hence not included in the stats.
     Other attention seeking posters may not appear as well.
[2]: Troll feeder %'age is (troll feeding posts / total posts) * 100
[3]: The poster 'quality' stats is based on:
       a) quoting: 100 - %'age quoted
       b) cross-posting: 100 - %'age cross-posted
       c) number of direct followups posters articles get
       d) troll feeding: 100 - 2.0 * %'age troll followups
       e) 75 deducted for known trolls
       f) for the humour impaired the quotes around 'quality'
          are intended to convey they are not to be taken too
          seriously :-)
