In general I would concur with you.
But of course, someone who knows/expects that his audience knows can trancend and use it to his advantage.
In this case I'm fully with derby.
The subject of "DOS" seems too good a shrewd choice.
It will trigger the foe identification of some and pitying commentaries from others. On the other hand it's also old-fashioned enough that unless you want to admit/pretend that you learnt nothing in the last at least 15 years, noone will challenge you on your expertise on this subject either.
Nearly two decades ago I had a co-worker who really was a DOS-guru, meaning he knew his Int21 table by heart.
But such a person would not act today as if he had been in a state of suspended animation since that times.
Update: On a completely different note: I wonder how the OP of this thread can be hit #3 in a Google search for "Kevin Raymer" since robots.txt here forbids all spidering?!

Interesting - it may not have been actually spidered, but just indexed from offsite
links to it? Google doesn't show a snippet of the text, and has the title slightly wrong.

He may or may not be a Troll. But but that is not the point, a lot of interesting comment has emerged from the "Red Neck" ideas, and a lot of fun to boot!

More than a troll, it looks like a prankster to me. I find his posts oddly hilarious. :) Reminds me a bit of Ted Nancy or Borat. | [reply] |

update: Since Kevin_Raymer was created on the same day BrowserUk penned Are monks hibernating?, I'm guessing Kevin_Raymer was created to wake us up from a winter slumber.
Maybe that explains why you never see BrowserUK and Kevin_Raymer in the same place...
