Thomas said:Didn't mean it to be useful, nor should I have to. Didn't mean for it
to be forward thinking, nor should it be. Misplaced or not, argue
away, but it's just a lament. I suppose you've never expressed a
lament before?
Fair enough. I feel for you.
In general I've been seeing a lot of Oracle-bashing around and about. I get
that your comment isn't part of that as such.
However, I also think you may be a bit off base with comments like, "As soon
as I learned of the sun [sic] purchase, I knew that the Not-Invented-Here
mongers were going to take over and @#$% up quite a bit." You admit to having
reached judgment on the matter before anyone took any actions to justify or
refute the judgment. That by definition is prejudice.
The rhetoric over Oracle's alleged mismanagement of Java and prognostications
of welkinic collapse typically come with unsubstantiable, unsubstantiated and
often counter-evidentiary claims of malfeasance along with exaggerated
protestations of despair and gloom, so you can understand my confusion.
