How many of you realize who Bill Manning is ?
yup.. i do. he's a wizzend, cynical, troll (may or may not be naked - see his previous post on not wanting to be forced to wear a teeshirt)
While you are at it, go flame Vinton Cerf... I am sure he will learn from you, too......
been there, done that. learned quite a bit.
I have known Bill for years, and respect him for a lot of what he has done. But if he is wrong, I have zero trouble calling him on it. Who you are doesn't change facts.
amen there.
That said, I admit I probably hesitate a bit longer before flaming Dr. Cerf. :) If you've ever met them both, you would understand why.
Vint does present a smaller target most days. :) --bill
