thomasvs, I found your read amusing :) There is one problem, though. Through your eloquent use of sarcasm lies a fault in logic. Where? That, not talking specifically about technology makes me a "person that hates advogato" :) Look around at the other entries. How many of them do you really think hold a lot of substance in terms of wielding and manipulating technology? Not many! A lot of the entries are just filler, filler and more filler. You know, the fancy, schmanzy buzzwords you see on resumes. Hmm, so where are we? Thomasvs , and I am predicting a handful of others, think that because bytesplit expresses sympathies toward MichaelCrawford or dyork and because bytesplit defends himself against the verbal taunting of folks, who in the real world probably couldn't spell out a complete sentence, that bytesplit must hate coming to advogato. Think about it once more, I implore you :)
