We know there is no "$" in the name. M$ is a widely-held albeit slightly
derogatory reference to Microsoft.  Why be so thin-skinned? It is good to
see that someone from Microsoft is lurking in this mailing list. (I
guess).

While the author makes some excellent points it is preceeding by what
appears to be some whining about perceptions held by open source
programming vs. closed programming.  Too bad! Perception is reality.
Either work in positive way to change the perception or change the reality
but don't whine about it.
