Well you zapped me so that must be sloppy. Lol.

Except this time I put a lot of effort in the first not commenting at all. And when I had something positive to say, turn it into a (leading-ish, but that couldn't be helped due to the nature of the issue) question.

I suspect it become the top comment at the time because I have a higher default zap and I am (hopefully only occasionally) a sloppy zapper.

I formulated a question to Jimmy to explicitly not say the obvious, because - for once - I tried to be diplomatic, lol. In general I don't mind 501c3 funding for open source but when they have explicit goals then the ecosystem needs to be able to absorb it. I think that that's doable in this case, also because this is competition for Knots too. But I'm very skeptical simply because good devs are expensive.

But now the question becomes: why do we need a clanker/milker to come onto the top comment (at the time) and summarize algorithmically what we really think? Are we willing to defend taking a milder, open minded stance? And with "we" I mean everyone that is not threatened by this.
