My point is that you claim insider knowledge on just about everything,
especially to bolster your arguments. I would expect someone with your
breath of interests, that seem to often overlap my own, that I would
have heard of you. I would expect that especially in the area I have
the most experience. As I said you claim to be in a ratified
atmosphere, I do not. In fact many of the places I worked were so small
that we didn't have e-mail, or Internet connections before the 1990's.
Several large companies I've worked for didn't even give out Internet
e-mail addresses, only internal e-mail addresses. I haven't published
any papers, nor have I had any part in building large public systems or
publicly distributed software, as you claim. I know a lot of
programmers like that. Most of us do our jobs write code maybe run a
small team and collect our pay. Few of us claim to have been at the
Nexis points of earth shaking, or even industry changing events. You
imply both. On top of that, I only contribute to one e-mail list
regularly, I have always liked my anonymity. Google only records public
Internet discourse.
