Are you an independently wealthy individual? If not, why do you feel that you are in a position of authority to discuss the state of knowledge of the average rich person? Could it be that you, like Joel, are capable of observation and imagination? And are you asserting that Joel, who has not only worked as an Israeli soldier (did you read the essay?) and a baker's assistant, but has also spent time as an average, corporate Microsoft employee, is somehow ineligible to discuss his own former perspective? Or are you suggesting that Joel somehow got special treatment at Microsoft because his grandma had money? I'm sure Bill Gates was really impressed by that. If you think Joel is wrong, give us some arguments. Spare us the ad hominem attacks.
