The revolution will not be televised
If you thought I was good at pissing contests you haven't seen anything yet. It seems I can't even begin to compete with Dave and Mark.
Others already summarized it rather well so no need to repeat the long, boring story here..
If I were Dave (obviously, I'm not, thank [insert your favorite deity]) I would certainly make sure Mark's Winer Watch is ineffective at best.. Tons of ways to do that.. for instance a script that randomly re-generates the RSS feed by re-arranging entries.. Of course that's just as easy to get around by building a checksum for each entry. I didn't say I thought about this too much!
I guess I had a point here.. oh yes.. This is all horribly immature.. from both sides... In the long run nobody will remember who was right or wrong but plenty will remember the roads that were chosen.
The entry title? Totally unrelated.. I just always wanted to use it and a self-righteous criticism of people I don't know in a situation I have no clue about is just as good as any entry to attach it to.

Kasia, you say you never watch TV, but perhaps you might find that Jerry Springer is a welcome respite from such juvenility.

I was going to blog about this, but Mark's link (Winer Watch) requirse authentication to get in which, I assume, means he's taken it down.
Too bad, I didn't much care for the debate, but I could use some "boring entertainment" right about now.

That's definitely passed the "taking this too seriously" point. Starting a blog to watch someone else's blog? Ummm, someone's becoming obsessive...

i've only recently started to use rss myself so i'm not familiar with what appears to be a long running case of 'he said, she said' or 'my (a)rss is bigger than your (a)rss', but it certainly appears that no one side is any better than the other.
still, it keeps me entertained in a 'slowdown as you go past the accident' kinda way so i guess i shouldn't be complain.

My take on the whole situation. As leaders they really should stop this nonsense and get back to business so our lives are better.
