Mark, I'm happy and very grateful for John making WBEL available when he did. He built WBEL and made it available without any commitments (nor did I expect any) and lead the way for others to follow. We still have a couple of servers running happy after nearly 5 years. I'm also pleased with Centos which I also use. Just different teams, different objectives and different timings, plenty of room for everyone.

So, Mark, do you run WBEL, or do you just lurk here to be a troll and to show us just how insensitive and unfeeling the average CentOS proponent is to the efforts and personal circumstances of volunteers who don't happen to be among the religious zealots of the CentOS persuasion?
