Actually, and I consider this sadly funny and typically "hammy", the author of that particular note tried to convince us that there was a problem with echolink's directions on how to bypass firewalls.
What I consider typically "hammy" is that this email author is giving out bad advice and he never consider it to be subject to review or interpretation.
Now I have my own pet theories as to why this happens in the ham radio world, but can someone shed some light on this from your prospective?
One theory might be that having jumped whatever hoops are required to become a ham, some folks feel the mantle of technical guru settle on their shoulders.
One can only wonder how much guru power is given as the bar to become a ham gets lowered more and more.
I see similar things happen in the computer user community....as it becomes easier, and less expensive, to operate a computer, the number of self-proclaimed
experts has increased.
