Is this the death of Zed Shaw as we know it? Goodbye interesting articles...

  If that's what you think, then you're not thinking this through. Look, I don't like Zed -- especially the jackass persona he adopted -- and he doesn't like me, either. (I've had a few run-ins with him for various reasons.) When he's not ranting like in the Rails Rant, or his odious performance "art" (insulting friends of mine when they weren't there to defend themselves) at RubyFringe this summer, Zed's an intelligent guy who deserves a lot of credit for his positive contributions. His essay about statistics is an absolute must-read (and he's right). Zed's essays are worth reading because they are well-considered, even if I disagree with the conclusions therein. I personally look forward to his non-ranting on-line personality.
