Why do you think John Gilmore is incompetent? He's very well regarded by many technologists. toad.com is probably older than many HN readers.
Edit: I may have misunderstood who was being accused of incompetence. My apologies.
- nknighthb 13y ago> Why do you think John Gilmore is incompetent? That is not what he said.
- dredmorbius 13y agoIt's not what he didn't say either. The wording was poor if that wasn't his meaning.
- tptacek 13y agoYou misread me.
- dredmorbius 13y agoGiven I received no clear meaning from your statement, and you've failed to clarify it, no, you've mis-written yourself. Your statement was and is unclear. Your follow-up to which I'm responding doesn't change that.
- timdiggerm 13y agoGiven that most people understood his post, the problem may lie in the reader, not the writer.
- bbatsell 13y agoHe's saying that Gilmore was attributing to malice what Thomas believes more likely to be due to incompetence. He's not asserting that Gilmore is incompetent.
