I suppose I'll be in "big trouble" and not just "on thin ice" for even bringing it up. And for the record - even though the thread was devoted to BOTT I do not feel that it in any way reflects the BOTT conference at all.
I don't know any of these guys personally but I have interacted with most online. At least one tends to be very "ultra-con" and I was surprised that he was even participating in BOTT. Most of the guys in that crowd speak of AM in very critical terms.
But, it's a thread on the Internet. It is behind a login that requires registration so I won't repost anything here.
