Thanks for your comment, Phillip. I don't follow the postings here
with a magnifying glass, so I have missed some of the
religious-sounding language you mention. Can you quote an example or
two to help me out?

Guys,

I really like the Software Craftsmanship idea and agree with the above
mentioned. I'm also giving a presentation on the topic at Euruko.

I think it would be very helpful to cut down on the pathos in
language. You don't have to sound like a religion to be taken
seriously, I believe the contrary is the case.

Markus,
This was all very good feedback. I've incorporated it into the doc on
the google group.
I'm not sure if the categories will remain or not. For now I find
them helpful for the sake of breaking down such a big list.
Doug
