Who's Joe Barr?
One of my group members pointed me to the article on Newsforge
yesterday. I figured Joe Barr just had too small a sample size to be
writing such an article. I could have also thought that inflammatory
hyperbole sells ad impressions but I didn't think that.
I saw this comment attached to it:
http://software.newsforge.com/comments.pl?sid=52693&cid=120905
a position I pretty much agree with. Then I saw Joe Barr's response:
http://software.newsforge.com/comments.pl?sid=52693&cid=120912
and thought to myself, "OK, I can safely ignore whatever Joe Barr's
saying."
So, I ask, academically, why do why care what Joe Barr thinks?
