Jean-Luc...
Speaking for myself, it's not the content but the packaging, that gets
people so upset. In a field full sometimes arrogant people, you have
demonstrated yourself to be the king of the hill.
Enough of the sweeping generalizations about Americans, ok? It makes you
look like a bigot. If you're going to do this, then don't forget to insult
the Canadians, British, and Italians (to name a few) that are on the list
and have expressed opinions congruent with those you deride.
This would all go a lot smoother if you'd care to write, in a couple of
pages, exactly what mean by:
* concept
* practicality
* more effectively
* successful *design* choices
* better
and so on. Your posts are a lot like the used car salesman who talks really
fast hoping you won't notice the fact that he mentioned the car doesn't run.
You use a lot of nice sounding words like those above but never say what YOU
mean by them. So, if you don't want to write code, then stick out your neck
and write some text. Let us in on our grand plan. Then we'll see what
everyone thinks.
