he wasn't worth the read.
He's well educated, well read, and an asshole.
Here is a favorite quote of his:
[link|http://mpt.phrasewise.com/|http://mpt.phrasewise.com/]
\nWell, nothing new there either. From me three years ago:\n\n It\ufffds certainly possible for a good programmer \ufffd to also be a \n\t strong UI designer; but that\ufffds no more likely to be the case than \n\t that, say, a construction worker will also be a good architect.\n
Note the use of MS specific characters as he shows a misunderstanding
of programming.
"construction worker"?
Yet another person who confuses bricks with bits.
Asshole.
Maybe as an employee of Canonical his comments will make
something better, since he IS right sometimes. But I doubt
it, since people recieving a message from such an individual
will often ignore the content.
And unless I'm mistaken, much of his rants are against Gnome,
and Canonical is not in charge of Gnome.
