Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying here. If I read it one way, you're
attacking my attitude. If I read it another, you're attacking the use of cloud
computing. Kindly rephrase.

...humm,  maybe just a little nibbling --now that I have some free
time.  You are right in stating that my statement is ambiguous;
notwithstanding,  I am not attacking your attitude (like Socrates, I
am a mere mortal, not a god like Huitzilopochtli or Zeus or Vishnu)
--much less do I attack the emergent cloud computing platform delivery
model.   Here is the rephrased paragraph:

Current economic conditions are dragging conservative attitudes into
outsourcing their IT plumbing;  cloud computing platform providers are
the receivers or beneficiaries of exactly that (traditionally
conservative corporate IT) outsourcing. The proliferation of cloud
computing platform delivery mechanism providers, of which Amazon EC2
is the poster child, should start smashing those artificial attitudes.

Well, I hope I made a little more sense this time ...I am barely awake
and I do not plan to nibble on this any more :-)
