All bar none

Who to bar from The Stack? As we thought, we’re not short of suggestions.
“I strongly recommend keeping out all the open source advocates,’ says Sam Hobday at Solsoft Technology. ‘Not only will they want all the beer to be free, but they’ll complain if it doesn’t hit the right spot, demand the ingredients list and manufacturing process, and then come up with their own alternative that is basically the same but with a bit more hops.”
Neil Kirby at Hallite Seals International says: “Bar anyone in marketing, otherwise they will expect you to spend 50 per cent of your resources supporting one per cent of your customers like our one Mac user who believes we should know as much about her Mac as we do the PCs of the other 110 users.“
We hate to intrude on private grief like this, but we’re all for barring marketing people. We’re not barring the open source crowd because we already barred Microsoft and we need someone to drink with.
Nevertheless, we feel the need to refuse admission to some more people, so keep them coming.
