As far as Chad Perrin's questions about this, I am just noting that Wales is a millionaire and reads Ayn Rand, i.e. I am pointing to what his political bias's are.
Well, thanks for clearing that up. I, personally, have read four of Ayn Rand's books, by the way, but have also read such works as Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle". I don't think pointing out a very limited selection of someone's reading list are much of a reasonable indicator of what sort of bias that person may or may not bring to the table in any collaborative enterprise. Whatever Jimbo's personal political leanings may be, they aren't relevant to determining his management style. Rather, it would be more productive and reasonable to examine his actual management actions, in whole and in context, and only examine political leanings to attempt to understand the reasons for that behavior if that too interests you (though it's still not really relevant to a discussion of whether there's applied bias in management style).
