No, like I said, I linked to it from the SLUG webpages because I knew some
of our newer members and posters would find it valuable.

Nothing personally, and I'm sorry I want so far as to be personal in my
previous email.

Three times since the publication of the essay I've seen it used as a
license to be rude and unkind to new users, which, whilst not the intensions
of the authors, gave me a vastly different second reading of it.

  There's nothing that whinging can do that bug reports can't do better, so
  I will certainly be posting some suggestions to Eric.

Sorry for the foolishly invoked flamefest, everyone.
