I agree that the group might have gotten a little carried away, but it
irritates me to see people who claim to be on the leading edge of computer
technology unable to spell even simple words or use acceptable grammar.
Expertise in one field does not imply the necessity of total ignorance
in another, does it?

I would much prefer to see some more messages correcting spelling and
usage (the silicone vs. silicon was the latter) rather than a dozen more
opinions on what 'real programmers' do or do not perform when nobody
is watching them!
