I didn't mention those orgs in my most recent reply to suggest they had 
similar values.  Regardless, they have an enormous amount of experience 
in a very similar problem space (technologically speaking) as we do - 
and in that, there is tremendous value in exchanging ideas/sharing 
information/collaboratively problem solving/etc.

Also, while sarcasm may be considered by some to be the highest form of 
wit, I find that it can be difficult to detect and properly understand 
in emails - particularly for users who are reading in a non-native 
language.  For better clarity and the sake of non-native readers, please 
keep it to a minimum when illustrating your points.
