Craig came down very hard on Bob Metcalfe and I was hoping that over the past few days someone would step in and explain that Bob is far from being a clueless journalist. I believe Craig is just showing how young he is.
On my part, when i was flaming B.M. i was perfectly aware of who he is. However, being an authority is not a guarantee of being right or being clueful about that particular subject.
I strongly concur. Even though I am young, I still have studied a lot of networking history. I knew who Bob Metcalfe was. However, his InfoWorld article had some points which just made him look like a complete newbie to this arena. He didn't do research, and therefore looked like a Web-Magazine-of-the-Month editor, using buzzwords and appearing to have no clue of what was really going on. Take it as you please, --Craig
