I'm Macless and all is right in the world... &A#JD1Tg!d8

Folks, if you keep track of the posts some of these winDopes write, you can't help but notice rampant schizophrenia. What exactly is their point when with one breath they hate Macs, then in the next they love them. Tom Elam does this frequently as well.

Then there is the constant idenbreasty changing, the name changes but the quality of the meaningless hate rants remains the same. Apparently the point here is to work around kill files, or to work around their tarnished reputation under a previous pseudonym.

Then there is the idenbreasty theft bullsh*t where one of the winDopes will pretend to be someone else who is real in their posts. Apparently the point here is defamation.

There is definitely something psychologically twisted about many of the winDopes posting here.

Now here is the question: Are they to be pitied and helped to a psychological counseling facility? Are we feeding their illness by making fun of them? Do they secretly seek derision? Are they in effect masochists? Do they need our help? Are they in fact crying out for help?

It's not been equalled for ease of use, and I want my computer to be a tool, not a challenge. Frederick Brooks is the author of 'The Mythical Man Month'.
