It wasn't the recommendation to try MooseFS that offended me.  Before I 
discovered some of its flaws I might have done so myself, and (as I've 
already mentioned in this thread) I'm still willing to recommend Ceph or 
XtreemFS as alternatives.  It was the "failed in many ways (but we won't 
say how)" part that seemed non-constructive and FUDish.

Can you clarify the difference between (potential) constructive 
criticism of your testing methods and interpretation of data, vs. an 
attack?  Or is anything I say in response to be considered an attack 
before I even say it?  No censorship has occurred here.  If you're going 
to act like any slightly discouraging remark is a violation of free 
speech, what are we to make of your *preemptive* discouragement?
