Don't get me wrong...
Once you get past that it's a very good article. It just got off to a strange start, that's all. Especially when you consider Mike Cox doesn't mean a word he says.

There are plenty of Talkbacks out there that could be taken more seriously from both sides of the fence. Even No_Ax_To_Grind's posts that aren't purely intended to goad the Linux zealots contain important bits of insight. Quoting George Mitchell later on put things back on the right path.
