Oh JBoss Mail Services, we barely knew ye! Imagine my dismay and surprise when someone pointed me out to a fascinating JBoss forum thread pretty much proclaiming that said project is essentially….dead.

Taken away from us in its prime! Oh how we laughed and frolicked together. That young brave project had such promise! Chief turdbringer Andy ‘I’m a tit’ Oliver assured us it would be the java mail server to end all java mail servers, finally knocking the venerable jakarta James out of its dubious position of being the only open sores java mail server around.

The brave little thing worked hard to become something, yet sadly, outside forces destroyed it before it had the chance to truly be the mountain of turd that titboy kept promising. Mean old Scott Stark proclaims that the project is in stasis because…gasp…NOBODY GIVES A FUCK!

That’s right, Andy Oliver is after all the delusional insane lunatic that pretty much everyone is convinced he is. Now I know that it’s such a cheap shot to fling personal attacks at him, but he’s just such a despicable little worm that it’s impossible not to. Besides, it’s sort of a pavlovian approach, if he feels he can whine about redhat developers in his blog, then his hypocrisy deserves to be punished by any means necessary.

How can one person manage to be such an incredible embarrassment to everyone around him? The man is a unique phenomenon in the java world, it has to be said. Take any two java developers, and no matter how much they despise and hate one another, you can guarantee one thing they’ll agree on; Andy Oliver is a complete and utter tosser, the like of which hasn’t been seen since Gerald Bauer in his heyday. Apache people hate him, Apache haters hate him, and the odd JBoss employee will also admit in private that he’s a bit of a twat (pre funding/gag orders, that is).

Of course, anyone with half a brain could see the writing on the wall. Half of poor andy’s posts were about he’s managed to lose his mail yet again, and asking people to resend things. He’s probably the first person since sometime in 1994 who has managed to actually use a server so unreliable that it actually loses mail.

Of course, the little runt hasn’t quite given up, and is still living in his delusional world that somehow his astounding idea is relevant and useful and worth plugging away at. Here’s a hint Andy, two users saying they want to use your crappy little server does not a community or developer base make.

Credit where credit is due though, Scott Stark seems to grok that having a bunch of monkeys pissing about with their own pet projects is not really a great way to build a company, despite what the country bumpkins he’s lumbered with might think.

In other JBoss news, I must applaud the AspectWerkz guys for so thoroughly spanking Billy Berky on a TSS thread. I imagine there was much squirming at such a delightful public humiliation; being made to look like a retarded wayward 8 year old child clamouring for attention while the adults are talking.

Gosh, I actually feel bad for making fun of poor Andy, it’s just too much like taunting a retarded kid. Fun for everyone, but deep down inside you know it’s wrong. Oh well, thank fuck it’s online so I can pretend he isn’t a real person and keep on pointing and laughing.

Oh and incidentally, Greg Luck has posted an interesting experiment in Bile sans Bile (google him, no linking policy blah blah).
