[THIN] So what if Microsoft Didn't buy Citrix.

I've been evangalizing in the Citrix and Microsoft Windows Terminal Services arena for many years.  I started the first web site of it's kind supporting it in thethin.net.  I've moderated this list like forever.  I've seen the SBC companies come and go, get bought out and fail.  Only a few have succeeded and withstood the test of time.
 
I've seen the same faces at the same conventions and meetings now for 12 years.  I used to be numero uno when it came to information on fixing and finding out information about it back inthe day. I've seen speculation and I've seen rumors and I've seen some astounding things happen that could not of been down without SBC.
 
I've always tried to keep an open mind, I've always fought for the little guy, I believe information should be free. I believe people are entitled to their opinions no matter how wrong they are and when they share that opinion I believe they also have a right to not be publicly attacked for having it.
 
Sadly that is what happened today once again between two guys I would like to think were my friends.  One is grumpy, one is cocky. Both are very smart, often correct on the issues in their own way.
 
On the title issue both have very different opinions. What is extremely important to me is that these two guys can see past their differences and agree to disagree in a civil manner.  Brian should immediately remove the article he posted about Doug.  It is already being picked up by the wires. This type of reporting does not benefit anyone in the industry and Doug should retitle his article to something a little less drastic. Lets have a kumbaya moment here.
