The 12 hour rule for Winer posts, plus a new postscript

Mathew Ingram is absolutely correct, there are two Dave's. My wife is once again advising me to just let it go, plenty of other people will make the right points. The best I can do is observe a 12-hour cooling-off period before posting. Sure enough, good old Uncle Dave emerged to set everything right. You're right Randy, there is no point.

Update: Yes indeed, the good Dave has taken over for a while. Quick Rogers, now is the time to ask him to drop the whole legal issue.

Update: Oops, evil Dave didn't like what I said here, so he changed his (their?) post to remove my name and the link to my post on Grazr. I thought that was not what blogging was all about Dave. I thought going back and modifying posts to erase people was the greatest sin possible in the blogosphere. Oh well, good Dave giveth and evil Dave taketh away. We should time these swings. Maybe they correspond to some natural phenomenon, like sunspots.

Update: My wife is a very smart woman, even if she does have her ... um ... eccentricities. Most of all she is smart about me. She should be, we've been living together for our entire adult lives. When she keeps telling me it isn't worth it, she means for me, not Dave. I don't like the side of me that Dave brings out, so this is my last post on Winer. Yes, I'm retiring the Winer tag. I want to be able to work on OPML and RSS without explaining to people why Dave and I are sniping at each other. I also don't know when he'll take out his anger on someone I'm working with. Gee, I wish I could find more ways to stretch out this touching farewell to the subject of Dave Winer, but I can't, so that's it. Yep, this is the last time I will type the words Dave Winer.
