I am _absolutely_ referring to the segment of the market that may be
turned off as irrelevant, and will do so until someone is able to
demonstrate that this non-problem is actually hindering the North
American adoption of Typo3 in a statistically significant way. I have
no reason whatsoever to believe that this 'segment' is large enough to
be worth the amount of time we've already spent discussing it, let
alone trying to 'bring them into the fold' as it were (or for that
matter that it's significant enough a body of people to be referred to
as a 'segment').

As I keep mentioning; Typo3 is a great success in Europe, this issue
notwithstanding. What reason do you have to consider it a problem on
the North American continent? I'm sorry, but the importance you attach
to this seems radically out of proportion to the known scale of the
problem.
