HI folks:
I am sure people will be ecstatic to hear this, but I am going to try and keep my mouth shut and not post to this for a while, to let people get their two cents worth in!
I can hear the collective sigh of relief... I hope people will post and say what they're thinking. These issues need a public discussion: open hardware, as Eberhard says, is a very new thing and a free and open discussion is an important thing.
