Ari, I would suggest that your ad hominem attacks on other posters
are turning off people who might otherwise be willing to listen
objectively and contribute to the discussion.
The fact that many of Tom's activities are not oriented towards making
money do not discredit Tom's ideas or skills or contributions.
His motivations are different than yours, which doesn't make his wrong
or worthy of put downs; indeed, his are more in line with the numerous
workplace studies that indicate that most people rank money as
somewhere between their 3rd and 6th most important motivator.
