Good news! The links in Vanilla that brought the rats out defending them have now been removed by Mark at Lussomo. I applaud this decision to break the text link contract they were in and to put my money where my mouth is I just donated a thousand dollars from my personal account to the project. ¶

A thousand dollars? Man, I wish I had that amount of money to pay the bills. It sucks being in the red. :*(

Good move

Fair play, Matt. I had thought you were being slightly evangelical when you mentioned this initially, but to donate to a project which potentially competes with BB Press is a nice move.
It’s also nice to see that Mark also listens to what the users are saying.

Much respect Matt … I would say your mouth and money are both in a good place

I suppose some guys should apologize this case?! Matt approved his role in Open Source development one more time! Respect for you.

A great big thank you on behalf of all of Open Source.
Matt, well done.
Now if everyone else would open their wallets along with their mouths!

Great Matt. I love happy endings! Isn’t the web wonderful? Nothing but decent people all around
