<snip> "So, fellow architects of information and designers of interaction, I have a modest proposal for you: UNSUBSCRIBE. Leave the lists, now, today, this hour, this minute-and don't look back. Stop worrying about what Joe IA in Ohio is doing with his forms for his customers and come up with solutions that are right for your customers-be willing to fail and to learn from that failure. Do it better next time. Stop focusing on your needs and put that energy toward the needs of your customers." </snip>
In the words of Bill Buxton...bullsh*t. Now, I agree that there is a lot of wasted rhetoric (from my perspective) on "what is IxDA" and "us vs. them", but there is no way I'd rather spend my whole day doing things with only *my* tools from only *my* perspective than gathering information and perspective from my peers. Sure, you have to wade through a lot of stuff that isn't important to you to get to what *is*, but that's the essence of nearly all conversations involving more than two people. Find a balance, but to suggest "unsubscribing" is more positional wasted rhetoric. (And I took the bait.)
