re: The Velvet Hammer
Nice post, Frank. It's kind of interesting to read us interpreting ourselves to a newcomer. We should do this more often.
You outlined the classic arc of SDAI-Tech1's style. Those of us familiar with it already expect that the final paragraph is going to be deliberately inflammatory or provacative, and to me it's more like his signature than an actual argument. That's how you know, as ER put it, that you've been "broadsided by a master". If you're not stunned and dazed by the end, it's not GenuineTechie&tm;.
