@jalefkowit I misread your post, got very agitated and was about to ask you to prove as to when good software won over well connected crappy software (other than Linux). Thankfully, I reread your post and saved myself from certain embarrassment.

@jalefkowit Why does this remind me of a time when people went, ooh Meta can't be that bad 'cause look, they got Nick Clegg working there.
