I find it rather ironic that someone who has claimed to be a Linux
guru (via private email) and who has claimed to have "gigs with
Microsoft" can spend a "solid week" not being able to build an
app and throws a chest-thumping, egotistical temper tantrum
whenever anything doesn't immediately go his way. If you have the
credentials you say you have, then why the hell don't you just
shut up, buckle down, do a little work, and take care of your
problems? (Instead of belching your Mordorsoft Nazgul-breath all
over happy little Xconqshire? And instead of trying to bully and
prod others to think and work for you?)
