Blogging Roller

I like Mike's response to my get used to it rant. I agree that open source (and the term open source itself) came to prominence during the dot-com times. But I like to think of open source as a way to license software and a way to share rather than a movement or a crusade to destroy capitalism in the software market. Sometimes I get the feeling that is what Dave thinks it is.

Also, I'm not sure open source is really eating Dave's lunch. He is competing with other blogging services and with content management vendors more than other blogging software packages. And, he has a easy and complete solution - you can be blogging in 5 minutes time and have a site for $39/year.
