Zack,

While not nearly as long as Tom and folks, I've been involved in open
source development for a while now -- and from where I stand, Tom's
behaviour is not only entirely within the norms for OSS development but
consistant with what's generally accepted for guru-level (ie.
senior-architect type) individuals within closed-source environments as
well.

Perhaps you should "think harder" about whether you're a bit excessively
thin-skinned.
