Hmmm.. The NuSphere people may not be saying very much on 
this list, but they're certainly listening in on what's 
being said!

The reference to MySQL AB was not there when I started this 
discussion of missing links to the .com site 6 hours
ago, and judging from the HTTP header and the timestamp
of your mail, you hit their site just 10-15 minutes after
their last update of the front page.

I, for one, am happy to see that this sort of discussion
*does* lead to changes being made. 

I must say that I am very impressed with the level of 
the discussion in this thread. Though many feel an emotional
attachment to the "One and only MySQL", people such as Justin 
and Jeremy have helped keeping everybodys heads up above
the murky waters of flames and sticking very close to the 
facts, trying to unravel what's going on - very unlike e.g.
the discussions taking place on /.

Kudos also to the MySQL team for following up very fast
on questions regarding what has been communicated between them
and the NuSphere people, leaving no-one to try and guess the
facts.
