This is a really emotional issue for some people. Reminds me of angry screeds about how everyone on welfare is a lazy no-account mooch.

Do you regret the post? All day I've considered forwarding the link to certain tech writers who might be interested, but after today's Twitter exercise-in-futility, I wonder if you really want that kind of attention*.

* Assuming they a) find it noteworthy and b) blog about it**

** Assuming they don't find it by themselves, of course.

No regrets. I don't mind engaging in retarded debates, as we all know. Just amazed that people are trotting out the same old canards ("would you steal a car and then return it?!?") as if they had never occurred to me.
