I am totally with you, Ron. That's exactly why (02)
- talking about proprietary stuff is an exception, rather than a
routine here, and (03)
- we do draw a distinction between people discussing those things as a
matter of technical interest, versus people pitching their own stuff (04)
(... as for the latter, we even have contribution policies that
discourage those behavior too - see guidelines at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidLMK ) (05)
