Wow, downandout, your post truly has it all:

- Genuine loathing for the blog post OP

- Smarmy "I'm better than you" attitude

- Examples of how you aren't like OP

- Call out to historic reasons why OP's mindset is terrible

- Multiple over-the-top statements ("If everyone adopted the attitude of the author..." is my favorite!)

Jeez.

>Jeez.

I was just about to say that about your response. All I said was that if everyone adopted the "good enough" attitude, innovation might have stopped before we ever had computers. You somehow used that to call me a smarmy scumbag. Are you somehow related to the author?
