So nice to see all the slamming and slandering, but what I really don't get is how people are losing every little bit of common sense at this point. 1) We have people posting private email. Just wonderful. It might be in defense of your point, but I think it doesn't quite warrant that. 2) We have people cc:'ing people who work at other companies (for example someone at sun.com in the java slander thread). Well done people! You just pulled credibility to lower than zero. Shows real good grasp of how the corporate world will react to this kind of thing. 3) Egos rising skyhigh. I have no problem with people who are confident in what they do, but the self-patting and ego-boosting stuff I read on the lists have been ridiculous lately. Grow up, learn some humility (books about Buddhism are a good start). 4) Also, the ability to generalise seems to be paramount nowadays. 5) The ability to take one topic and connect it to another and drawing seeing connections. Me, oh my, it reminds me of the Bush joke that there's a connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, since both have a Q in them. Are we losing common sense and politeness here people? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(at)wxs.nl> / asmodai / Kita no Mono Ninth Circle Enterprises | http://www.anti-dmca.org/ http://www.tendra.org/ | http://www.advogato.org/person/asmodai/ When Silence cries...
