Why do I argue? Now *there's* a good question. Mostly, I argue over the
net, not for the people I am actually addressing, but for the people out
there who may be not committed. if I manage to shake some of my
'opponents', then fantastic!, but I really do not expect this very
often. occasionally, however, amidst the hate mail, and the mail
which says "I agreed with your every word on X" (rather nice to
hear, by the way) is mail that says "i always wondered about X,
and you have helped make the picture clearer". This is what makes
my day. I want to further knowledge. I do not get much of an
opportunity in a computing enviornment to expound on any other
knowledge than technical knowledge, and I actually believe that
"the C calling sequence", and "how to write a disk driver"
are not the most important bits of knowledge
that I have gleamed from my life on this earth so far.
