Hi Richard,

	Well, I have always admired you from a long distance in the past.
	However, as I read many of the discussions going on which really
	sadden me ;(.
	
	From two commanding statements below, I feel that really you are
	the BIG DADDY, no one should do anythig without telling you first,
	sigh... which I think really either stiffle the creativity or you
	becoming the bottle-neck when hundreds of developers are waiting
	for you (so to speak) to make their final decisions?
