Wow, thanks to this article, I'm now reviled on Slashdot. A little devil's advocation, and they threw me to the dogs!

I wish my certification here would pick up so I could at least respond to articles. I used to really enjoy slashdot, but this just stinks -- without flaming or really trying to incense anyone, I got not just flamed... one guy went so far as to get my WHOIS info, post my home address and phone number, and infer that other like-minded slashdotters might wish to harass me.

I'll bet someone here remembers when you could have *actual discussions* on the Internet. :)
