RE: participating communities (was XML Blueberry)

It hasn't hurt Gates AFAIK.   Sun and Oracle might like to
own the flood plains though.  But that is IBM and Unisys's
problems as the current owners.  For others, an eight processor, 12gb cache
enabled pump drains swamps faster than gators can say "gotcha".

Yes, it does.  Darn, why don't they just die like good blue dinosaurs?
 
At the end of the day, Blueberry will pass.  As revealed in
our absurdities, the alternatives are distasteful and reveal
weak political positions to an increasingly suspicious public.
 
Until a human changes state, reality is just bites.
