Very good point. > Dvorak "gets it" more than Bob Metcalfe (which is as much of a > compliment as "Dvorak is taller than the normal two year old") but the > bottom line is that he writes to bring in viewers to see banner ads for > which they get paid. I wish I still had a copy, but, quite a few years ago, I sent Metcalfe feedback on an article where he recommended that people use automated, GUI traffic-analysis tools (that they would not understand) to chastise their ISPs for routing problems. I pointed out that barraging ISPs with useless and mistaken diagnostic information wasn't a step forward, and found some amusing way to dramatise the point (which I forget). He took the point, for which I give him some credit. -- Cheers, Ceterum censeo, Caldera delenda est.
