No, Len.  That was a bunch of whiners who were upset that they weren't
being rewarded for being such geniuses.  Took their toys and went home.

I think I'm looking more for a place where developers can work and share
without concern for business $$ or even recognition from the world.  No
need to take our toys and go home, no need to stop the motor of the
world.

Heck, I can even read the W3C as the Galt folks, taking their toys
behind a veil of secrecy and issuing pronouncements we should all
recognize as wisdom and follow. Such geniuses have no need for that
collective-responsibility stuff called accountability.

Without the openness and sharing - two things Ayn Rand never figured out
- there just isn't much point to doing it at all.
