Please don't fall for this--it is what is elsewhere known as a "Usenet
troll". Don't mistake his posts for genuine arguments.

You can argue with these people till you drop dead, it won't matter. I won't
even bother with the so-called "factual arguments" he makes. They have been
answered here before, he ignored the answers then and he will ignore them
again.

If you recall, he took on the role as Official Machiavellian Critic of the
module system the moment the other proposal from Joseph P.--his friend--was
turned down by this community. You can go back in the archives to verify
this. Ever since then, he has had this as a personal mission. In the
beginning I didn't realize the personal connection and so I fell for it too.
You'd wish he'd get over it.

He is determined to sow spite into the Squeak community; comes on the list
every couple of months and tells everyone to go to hell; once it was because
the list was a chat room, then it was "everyone stop talking and do it".
Like when he said he would become a harvester, did it once (there had to be
patches released afterwards to fix the worst mistakes in there) and then
quit. That's "stop talking and do something" applied to onself, indeed. Then
he slagged everyone off for not writing unit tests for all the code they
post; on the rare instance when he posts something himself there aren't
always tests with the code, same thing again. I also recall how he flamed
another French guy who made his first post on the list.

Check all of these in the archives if you don't believe me.

Stef, if you are so busy working for your rent as you always excuse
yourself, then why don't you also spare use these flaming posts? Surely they
take time too to write. They don't exactly help Squeak. As in "stop talking
and do something".
