*spit* You mean esr sounds like Matt. :-)
esr does echo good points (although he fits as "ankle biter" quite well), but he certainly didn't originate them. Neither did I, but then I'm not pimping myself to the media.
I hadn't realised esr had affected the outsiders' perceptions of open source to the degree you indicate. I had considered him inconsequential.
