How The Game Is Played

Okay, a clarification

It seems I was just a TOUCH too subtle in my humor and I offended someone. Since I cant seem to respond to his comment in the comments, Im going to do so quickly here.

Anybody who reads your FAQ for the first time will decide immediately that you are a stuck up snob, if they didn't know you better. I am not saying it is wrong to be rude to Warez and cheating students. But what is the big deal with someone questioning the speed of java. Why all the hostility when it comes to online FAQs? Can you give any of those answers to some one face to face? Is it impossible to maintain a decent and respectable answer to those questions.

Well, the point was these were stupid ignorant statements and/or inappropriate questions. Ones those of us who deal with the public hear semi-regularly. Obviously I would never (well almost never) give the "short answer" directly to someone's face. Thats why the Blog. It was letting off the steam and saying the things many of us in this sort of position wish we could say to some peoples' faces.

I thought the humor element in that was self-evident. I think it was to many of us who have been in such positions for any length of time. That it wasn't obvious to others was my bad, and for not making that clearer I apologize.
