you could at least make your trolling a little less obvious:
- stating that the number of books = product viability is pretty
primitive logic. I think most of us are aware of the connection
between name recognition and massive book purchases by aspiring
technologies (see all the php/mysql books for dummies, etc).
- stating that ibm is only good at mainframes will be caught by
anyone paying attention to the industry - and familiar with
Power5/PowerPC CPUs, pseries & xseries hardware, websphere, db2, etc.
- stating that you actually like db2 and then complaining about ibm's
marketing is bizarre. The only database that's got more low-key
marketing than db2 is postgresql - and it doesn't have a vendor! Well,
ok - Informix marketing is even more low-key, but that's a separate
issue.
Isn't there some other group you could go spend time at for a while?
Perhaps go to some islamic/hindi/budhist group and tell them that their
god is irrelevant because you found more 10x as many books on
christianity as their religion?
