Downvoted!

Not because I disagree with you; but because of your inane, facile, puerile, snide, underhand and utterly deliberate practice of posting a reply to a particular node; as a response to {some other} randomly chosen node.

What the .... do you think it achieves? (Paraphrase:Why are you such a deliberate, willful moron?)


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I'm with torvalds on this
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked

    The post is more visible because after a given response depth they are hidden. Being everywhere is the best you can do to sell your work when the content of those posts should close every door.
