It's not just me, rumor says that 99% in this industry agree with me.

Is that a rumor or a survey? Surveys only count if you have statistics to back them up and independently-verifiable stochastic models with measurable accuracies. Rumors only count if you, my dear custodiem, did not make them up yourself.

... the facts are out there,like you said, a bunch of useless working releases.

Useless is sort of up to the user to decide, donchathink? I can find you a metric heavyweight load of people who consider MySQL 3.23 the very height of uselessness, and I can find you at least that many people who reached their own personal definitions of success by using it. Even though several years later we all realize that MySQL 3.23 wasn't finished by any means, and MySQL 5.1 isn't finished by any means, and MySQL 6.0 isn't finished by any means, you'd have to redefine quite a lot of words to declare unfinished software completely useless, and my dear apparatchik, your English skillz are really not mad enuf to make that work.

... your working releases are useless to me, or most of the people out there...

Babydoll, most of the people in the world ain't programmers. Not sure that surprised anyone else on this site. Now do be a good little boy, and take your airy fairy tautologies, and run along. It's close to your bedtime, innit?
