Interesting how Slashdot seems to be about 5% reposts! Literally!
This is a duplicate...!

Dare Obasanjo, who wrote this (great!) interview, has already had it published here on Slashdot a couple of months ago: lookie here!
So, it's already two months old, and it needs to be published on the microserfs' version of Slashdot before we read it!?
Oh well, Dare, it was a good piece anyhow!

No one was banned from DotGNU Lists

There is a factual error in the interview.
No one was banned from any DotGNU lists. A few times in the early days of the project, the lists were put into moderation mode when discussion got inappropriately heated or off topic. Martin claimed that having this moderation imposed constitued banning, but that simply isn't the case. It's unfortunate that Martin felt rejected by the need for moderation, but we didn't intend it as such.
I even personally had some of my posts rejected during one of the moderation periods.

Does someone have a local copy/mirror? It won't display right (if at all) in Konqueror...
Uh oh... yep, it happened again...
See http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/24/171241 &mode=thread for the last time this interview was posted. Interesting however than MSDN posted it... but this is old news fellas.
