all you need to know about the cheese business

[gordonzola]

I've been asked to proofread a short, fact-based article about two local cheesemakers because neither of them can read it with going into a frothing rage. Why? Because their families had bad blood from the dissolution of their partnership.

In 1948.

Open source people often quote the Kissinger line, "Academic politics are so vicious because the stakes are so low," and note that their stakes are even lower.

Then, we learn, there's cheese.

Why is this quoted by Open Source folk?

I realise that the answer may be very complicated, so don't feel obliged to answer - but heck I dinnae need write that, but now I have, so there.

Not complicate at all -- just because their politics are especially petty and vicious, and the stakes are so very, very low indeed.
