I'm a member of several lists, but this one beats to the punch all others by the level of nastiness! Could we all be polite and respect each other?? Or is it that we cannot keep our arrogance and high salaries to ourselves?
As we all know there is place and application for every skill in this world. Please be polite and respectful!

You are confusing content and functionality with 'spin'. This is a
technician's mindset, and explains why you spend time giving useful
advice and information in this list rather than producing management
level visionary statements at a salary at least an order of magnitude
greater than that you currently enjoy.
