Hear, hear. Remember the Mindcraft benchmarks that showed Linux was slower? They were right -- and it was one of the best favors Microsoft ever did Linux. I did a fair bit of 'realist' duty back then. And I agree, George Ou's benchmarks are useful. But Chad doesn't make a good realist, I think.
Thirdly -- let's keep a sense of proportion. This is a mailing list. It achieves nothing. It's recreational typing. If individuals want to killfile him, that's fine, and probably a prerequisite for sanity. I have a killfile of my own which works so well I have forgotten who is in it.
The problem with adding him to my killfile is that he sparks comments from other folks who I don't want to add to my killfile. If he'd just go away, the signal-to-noise ratio might be a little better on this list. That said, I'm not a regular here, so I should probably just shut up. - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?
