- martinced 13y agoThat dude was already trolling Usenet's comp.lang.java.* newgroups back in the days... And I hated the dude back then. But now to be honest he's obvioulsy more experienced and although he's not a native english speaker some of his writings are quite OK. For example I've seen some good Emacs functions and explanation from him. But, yup, he's still spamming a lot.
- chittis 13y agoWhat's the purpose of your comment? Are you concerned people might browse xahlee's pages and find some useful information there?

- dalke 13y agoOr the other way. I didn't follow the link because I know it's to a known troller's site and therefore my default assumption is it's wrong or at least highly distorted. When the g'parent poster commented that 1) it's a known troll but 2) the information is correct anyway, I decided to look further into the topic.
