There’s times that I feel lucky to be an outsider. I’ve been catching hints and glimpses of one such case over the last week or two. There seems to be this whole flame-up going around concerning RSS, a battle between v1.0 and v2.0. I don’t understand any of it; hell, I don’t even know what RSS is. But it seems like people who should be working together are instead flinging piles of flaming horseshit back and forth. I just want to slap them all silly and tell them to grow up. But, it’s a big Internet, and they can fight all they want in their little corner. It just makes the rest of us look bad.
