Thanks! I also read your post about God which was interesting. I can't  
say that I'm much surprised that one of the problems you had with God  
was memory leaks. It kind of amazes me that people write long running  
system tools in a memory managed scripting language and wonder why it  
leaks memory. It is sort of heedless, at least with the current  
garbage collection strategy used in ruby et. al.

 "Conservative GC and reference counting are a poor match for long- 
running programs that have complex reference patterns and that host  
extensions or untrusted code. For example, the main Ruby  
implementation uses conservative GC, Perl 5 uses reference counting  
with weak references, and Python uses conservative GC; programmers who  
stress these systems frequently encounter problems with memory use." [http://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/papers/ismm15-rafkind.pdf

I just wished that people who are not happy with Monit could help out  
and contribute in a good open source spirit instead of "forking" and  
try to debunk Monit which I feel Mr. Preston-Werner does. We have  
always been open and we have never been adverse to any form of  
meaningful contribution. Anyway, as long as there are users who  
appreciate what we do and find Monit useful, we will use our energy on  
Monit and make Monit better, line by line.
