I really can't chalk it up to inexperience with open source. John (from what everyone says about him) is a smart guy. He has to understand how a blog works, and one that has comments shouldn't be too challenging. Perhaps there isn't an underlying intention to run us all off and reinvent the site, and he just has complete and utter disdain for everyone there. But I doubt it. I think that there is more to it than meets the eye. Hey Jim, I read your article yesterday and tried to comment… oh well.

If Sumser did want to drive everyone way and turn Recruiting.com into something else, I don't know what he would do differently then he is doing now? I'm more inclined to chalk it up to inexperience in handling an open source community than a deliberate attempt to stripmine, but I've been wrong before.
