otherwise a strict policy of Don’t Read The Comments

Allow me to sum up my relationship with the orange site with a lightly edited quote of Dennis Ritchie from The UNIX-HATERS Handbook:

Here is my metaphor: your book website is a pudding stuffed with apposite observations, many well-conceived. Like excrement, it contains enough undigested nuggets of nutrition to sustain life for some interest to computerniks like me. But it is not a tasty pie: it reeks too much of contempt and of envy silicon valley chauvinism.
