Take it up with dictionary.com, and be correct yourself next time you attempt to correct me.
"It can't be done and they don't even exist in cp437"
"A compild app has just as fast & painless a development turn around cycle as an interpreted one."
"The amount of ram and flash available on a router intended for use with openwrt does not matter."
And the list goes on going back but I'm not a zealot on the topic of Mark Luljack so I'm not going to scour my mail history just to pull up things we've all forgotten and didn't matter much even when they were current.
None of those examples are more than trivial issues however. That plus how superb you are at software, which is the opposite of trivial and earns much more respect from me than silly pedantry takes away, and the fact that since I was about 11 I realized I didn't like how some people must always have the last word, are why I let each of those go at the time with a shake of my head and a chuckle. I will not contest any of the many things you have to say about video games though.

As for zealotry, well let's see, my post had neither techinical points that were incorrect, nor did it attempt to school anyone, let alone a respected and admired (yes, by me) seasoned pro. Your response to it had neither corrections to technical errors, nor any other basis for it's advertised point. In other words, you had nothing to actually remark about, but you didn't let that stop you. Further, It wasn't a fluke event but yet another in a long and established pattern that is utterly unambiguous by now. Thus, zealot on the topic of Brian White. No biggie. I have a few unsightly habits too. Mine happen to be things like biting my toenails. To each his own.
