grr: looks like I didn't proofread this enough, including misattributions. Attempted corrections:

----

rektide> "But I cannot broke this hit campaign you are launching, when you are so persitently cantankerous & negative, without ever going near the actual inner truth that it did remarkably connect a generation with. I wish you could have some balance & some ability to see value, Thomas."

Again, pretty charged.

There are numerous places where 'tptacek acknowledges positive aspects of the piece:

tptacek> "What's notable about Cathedral is its timing; it did capture the zeitgeist of what was an important moment in the computing field"

tptacek> "The true-feeling parts of Raymond's article read to me like a document of, for lack of a better term, late 1990s programming thinking."

And is actively engaged in furthering the discussion:

tptacek> "I appreciate getting called on this and forced to think more carefully about it. Thanks for the response!"
