I used to hold software writers etc. in awe. Especially those who posted here at FR.

As this thread points out, they may be book smart, but real world stupid, as your reply #21 clearly shows.

After reading threads like this for several years now, I realize they're just average thinkers, and not much different than me when I fought with my childhood friends (sometimes real fist fights) about which tractor was better, John Deere, Farmall, or Allis Chalmers. The difference is, I grew up.

Never held software in awe.
My beef is with the open source, Microsoft-hating nuts and their hate-Gates, mostly hate-capitalism and hate-profits ideology.
