This is a very sad news. Unfortunately he's not the only seasoned
developer who leaved in bad mode his position. Folks, I seriuosly think
many of us should think twice (take a deep breath and relax, follow
the Zen practices, what you'd prefer) before attacking personally
other people in MLs. That's not a constructive way of doing things.
Duels are not solutions.
