[ Addressed to J. Monroy ] I will go further - by your continued insistence on interleaving technical facts (of often dubious value), political rhetoric and other metaphysical or pseudo-philosophical ramblings, you lost me a long time ago. You claim to enjoy the status of some sort of lightning rod, well here's a public strike then: Either put up, or shut up. We've heard more than enough about this alleged QIC/floppy project for quite some time now and at this point the only thing that's going to convince me that you have any technical abilities whatsoever is seeing some working code. Your beta cycle has now lasted long enough that I can only conclude that you're either ashamed to release it, or the emperor has no clothes at all. Note: I'm not angry with you, far from it - I'm just a little irritated at your multiple cross-posted articles that seem to do little more than waste bandwidth and people's patience. If debate is really your sole aim, then by all means drop the "project" pretenses and go forth into the world of talk.* with my blessings.
