What the hell is OpenCandy?
Renegade:
I personally think they should hire Renegade in some capacity. He's done more to build a convincing case for OC (despite the fact I personally don't like how OC implements itself) than some of the official communiqués ever did. He also speaks to the concerns of developers and software geeks. And, being a developer himself, on their level.
Hey DrApps! Maybe you folks should consider hiring this guy in some capacity?
Seriously.

After seeing your comments over on Gizmo's blog I don’t think it strange at all! ;D 8)

40hz:
Looks like all the objections have been raised, and at least discussed, even if they haven't been addressed.
But at the end of the day, OC is standing firm on how it operates and how they want to conduct business despite those objections.
So now that we've arrived at an apparent impasse regarding OC, maybe it's time we start wrapping this discussion up?
:)

Well, one of my posts was deleted. I just noticed. Sent MidnightCowboy a PM to see if it's ok to repost. I don't think he likes me. :(
UPDATE: It's been undeleted. Maybe he does like me~! :D

@Ryan- I'm an editor over there. I suspect your post was most likely taken down by accident, or because it contained a weblink to someplace that returned a WOT rating of orange.
If a moderator took it down for what they felt was a violation of the forum rules (or if it contained a 'red' WOT rated link) it wouldn't have been put back up later. :)
FWIW, I don't think anybody (or hardly anybody at least) over at Gizmo's dislikes you personally. It's just you've put yourself in a challenging position by endorsing a product many TSA members have major concerns about. So, as unofficial apologist for OC, you're bound to get some heat. But for the most part, the responses to your posts seem to be generally positive and echo much of what's been said here: people don't like the way OC works, and they're suspicious of the reassurances OC is giving that they will "do no evil" down the road.
Note: Gizmo's is also not DoCo. They have considerably less tolerance than Mouser has for hyperbole, outrageous analogies, put-ons, snarky comments and wandering too much around a topic. They prefer posts that are like a shot of vodka - short and to the point.
Makes us appreciate Mouser's way of doing things more than ever, doesn't it? ;D
