Alex Helps. Alex code is good. Keep Alex.
I work with Neuro Surgeons and they are all jerks. (I am not saying Alex is a jerk.) But attitude is good.

Alex is young and intelligent, which naturally leads to arrogance,but I have long since gotten numb to his behaviour, since there are plenty of people like him in my life. To his credit, Alex is one of the few reasons I am still involved with this project, and sometimes, I *do* feel like I am working for him. ;0) Without Alex I am sure this project would be different, but I'm not sure if it would be better or worse.
As I have said before, it's these very arguments on public projectmailing lists that hurt this project more than anything. It's arguments like these that make me want to leave, not any one's attitude. They take up resources and contribute nothing. Just keep in mind that these emails will be found by people looking for answers to questions for a long time to come.
I've seen this problem again and again. The contributors to theproject are some of the brightest people I have ever met (in this field), and when you get a group of intelligent people together, invariably egos get in the mix and you have this childish bickering about STUPID SHIT. I've seen this happen to PHDs that were twice my age, and should have known better.
If you have a problem with someones attitude, I expect you to takeit up with them directly and privately. If that doesn't work, step away for a day or two, and reflect upon what this project means to you.
