| Pegasos offer extended for Phoenix members : Comment 50 of 70 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by bbrv on 09-Apr-2003 05:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 49 (dammy):
From an earlier post modified to be used here...;-)
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark (or read the Community)...
This lament is taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Hamlet was brooding over the wretched state of Denmark (and then incidentally compares the two kings, his father and his uncle Claudius as "Hyperion to a Satyr." We might not have used Hyperion as an example of the goodness of one, but never mind...;-)
Later, Hamlet says...
Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden, that grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature possess it merely. That it should come to this!
This of course can be compared to the "community" in the months and years before. The situation today is a result of a rudderless past. So, what to do about it? Raquel and I are great advocates of what we call gardening. If you plant a garden and you ignore it, it's taken over by weeds. But if you keep at it, month after month, then it grows. We like the way the garden is shaping up!
:-)
Spring is here...so to speak! We promise to be good "gardeners!" Another 20 Pegasos in the market are seeds which will grow and help proliferate the platform...step by step. Weeds or seeds? What will it be?! :-)
As we just said on ANN: ..."Within a true "Community" of people of course there are differences. There *can* be different hardware, there can be different operating systems, and there should be different opinions about many things. Let us not forget we are human, computers are not. If we can share our differences intelligently with mutual respect for the dignity of others all these sites will improve in their usefulness.
We think there is far to much unnecessary "flaming" on all the sites. We have been a part of it. We reacted in kind. We have never been intimidated by any of it and we simply will not allow FUD to remain unanswered. What will stand in truth and fact in the future will be the action and the results developed by all involved. If your looking for "measure" we are ready for judgment. We can talk about it and genuinely seek to be the best we can at all we do. If your looking for a fight and you are bent on insults and personal attacks, take it somewhere else.
The "thread wars" are over. We need to work. Our future is on the road ahead. We can see where we are going and know how to get there."
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill
