Hi Nancy..

Often, people have a hard time distinguishing between a personal attack legitmate questions of competence. I have had my technical abilities questioned up here more times than I care to remember. The little bit of ego that we should all have, the one that gives us some edge, that makes us good developers, compels us to refute those sort of attacks.

As always, I invite folks to point the aim toward me and fire away.

When you get down to it, it is all about accountability. That was one of the major themes in my critique of Miriam Liskins article. Did you know that she never wrote me back to address my issues? Did you know that Tamar sanctioned that behavior on Miriam's part? Let's see, columnists who are not accountable, editors who are not accountable, and ultimately, publishers who are not accountable.

Looks like a pattern to me....
