A glance at his personal Web site, as well as a recent interview where he
discusses his past, pretty much explains it all. I don't know how he came
into this position of authority. He needs to pony up a bit, or find haven in
a farming house. Aggressive people such as Mcbride lead to a predatory
market where people litigate, not innovate. Does Darl even program at all?
