Please, I think it's far worse than Rue. I don't want this group to start
turning into a group that 'votes' others off. Either ignore him or killfile
him or just talk to the fellow. Having a vote is only a weird popularity 
contest more about the people doing the voting than the person being voted
on in my opinion, and we could do without.

I think this group is already going down in friendliness rather rapidly; 
I may be misguided but I think we'd just have enjoyed Rue or ignored him
if he'd stopped by a few years ago. It wouldn't have led to so much flaming as
it does now.

Finally, my opinion is that I agree with Rue, and we're all poseurs and 
auto-coding is a major breakthrough in programming, and I'm waiting
eagerly for Rue to release his long awaited system. :)

Poseur-ly yours,

Martijn
