Such an attitude towards those working in the area of marketing is
disheartening, and to me, against our core community values.

Software needs users to be successful, and for it to be really
successful, it needs people that can spread the word.

Individuals who specialise in marketing have one of the most difficult
jobs; they have to be able to portray the results of technical
engineering into something that everyone from a programmer to a CEO
will understand the possible applications of.
