So, someone writes an article criticising open source software (with examples), and what do you know - there's an avalanche of email saying that it's not so at all. We have to say that it's not that surprising. It's a standard reaction online.
Of course, the fact that Andrew Brown's article ("If this suite is a success, why is it so buggy?") was mentioned on Slashdot meant it garnered the standard million replies there, and plenty of emails to us. Some, at least, did come from people who had read the article all the way to the end - which is generally all we ask of people who want to comment on something.
As you can imagine, though, the tech@theguardian.com inbox is, if not melting, then steaming ever so slightly (once we'd got rid of the usual weekend spam), with people who do want to comment on the article, but then found there wasn't any convenient place to do so (apart, of course, from Slashdot). No longer! If you have read the article and have a burning urge to say something more, then please, do it here. Readers' views are always welcome.
Finally, if you want to comment on the fact that there was only a Gamesblog last week, and no games reviews, this would also be the right place to do it.
