One more comment from me, against my better judgement. Lets not make a
mountain out of a bit pile, but...

Having fun and making jokes are fine. However, when you are having fun at
someone else's expense...well, some people feel that crosses the line.

Personally, the first reply was funny. The second was not.

Why do I care about this? I work in a shop that is not sure what it wants to
do. Java? Or Microsoft?

That guy you just yanked could have been my manager trying to figure out if
it makes sense to abandon his MS architecture and move resources to Java.
(He wasn't, fortunately). But it sure would be a dark day when I come in to
work to be informed that I can start programming .net or find a new job.

There are how many people on this list? Hundreds? Lets be sensitive to each
other. Make fun of Dubya if you need, or Billy boy, or "Beam me up,
Scotty!".

But not our peers from the other side of the Force!

"Programmer's politics?" What's that? Perhaps we should add that URL to the
list of things we require people to check before posting to this site.

Yea.. while this is really starting to drift off topic.
I have to say that Mark is just having some fun and it shouldnt
be taken so seriously. He really has contributed so great idea/questions
to the list.
I thought it was actually quite funny.
I'm just surprised that M. Amin thought that Mark and William were telling
the truth.
I guess he still has alot to learn about "programmer's politics" ;)
