I have avoided this thread like the plague so far, but I really feel
a need to say this:

Drew, as a disinterested observer, it looks to me like you have
repeatedly made statements in this thread that seem designed to
infuriate people, rather than to further any rational argument.  I
really couldn't care less about your business model or whom you hire
to do your coding, but *I* am starting to get annoyed not by your
arguments, but by your intensely grating and disrespectful way of
presenting them.  Above, you accuse Grant of being a troll, for
absolutely no reason as far as I can see. Whether they're true or not,
assertions like that *do not* help you make your point; rather,
they make you look like a twit.

That's all, carry on.

P.S. - I shan't post any further to this thread. I may even
quit reading it.
