Why so rude? It's a habit from writing email all day, not some sinister plot to get people to see my name a lot. I removed the ultra-offensive signature from my post. I'm not inclined to get into an argument about how original or interesting I am... my ego is big, but not big enough for that. I'm content to gauge those things by the responses of my readers.

Call it a personality conflict, but I value quiet, dedicated productivity over relentless self-promotion with nary a sign of some kind of project or productive venture.

  Two books written, another on the way, 1000 words per day of blog posts written, one multivariate testing software package written from the ground up and sold, another php project in the works, three non-fiction books read per week. On the other hand, two or three of my 100 yearly posts submitted to HN, about the same to Reddit.

    The only thing I care about out of that is the testing software package. What happened to that? Why haven't I heard of it? Patrick managed to make and give away A/Bingo to the community while working on BCC. What's the other PHP project? I don't care about anything else you've mentioned. Nobody cares what you read or what you have to say. The books are a tilt too. The only people who care about your blog of personality thing you have going is because they aspire to make money off of their 'personality' and otherwise not being productive. Typical anti-work/productivity culture really. This kind of nonsense is the mainstream, not your OH SO RANDOM 'antics'.

  I can't reply to your last one for some reason, which may be for the best. The multivariate software was called Conversion Doubler, but was renamed (and improved) by the buyer. I'm keeping the new project under wraps for now. I consider it a personality flaw that I'm compelled to respond to (what I consider to be) unconstructive criticism like this. I'm done responding publicly, but will continue by email if you like.
