This was a letter I recently wrote to Sun's head of global communications, Russ Castronovo, after reading his interview with Chuck Talk on orangecrate.com, and then reading the ongoing pro-/anti-Mono arguments over at PlanetGnome. Now that Sun seems to be on the brink of making the decision to open-source Java (or not to), I thought it would be an appropriate time to take action.

Ahem, if you'd kindly point out these alleged errors....
I admit that I wrote this somewhat hastily without a spell-checker. However, I don't see any errors, other than my misspellings of "committees" and “irreversible” (which I noticed too late). I also notice some extremely superficial grammatical errors: I neglected to fully capitalize GNOME, did not put periods in "i.e." or "vs.", should have added a period before a parentheses in the fourth paragraph, and have at least one unnecessary comma. If you can come up with an actual major error that I haven't mentioned, I will fully accept your criticism. (Unfortunately, that’s a rhetorical comment, because I’ve already done a thorough check.)
