Respect in the Blogosphere

Authored by Michael Pate on August 3rd, 2003 at 6:06 PM

It’s fun to blow of steam by slamming whatever has recently annoyed you, but even Microsoft is actually made up of real human beings, mostly doing the best they can while stuck between a rock, a hard place, and a manager or two with very different goals than yours. While it feels like “IE sucks goats, and nobody should ever use it” is more likely to get noticed than “the IE CSS bug that messes up scrolling makes it really hard to do CSS layout”, the fact is that the first will just get you ignored by anyone who can actually do anything about it, while the second, turning up in someone’s Feedster search for “IE CSS bug”, has a chance (however small) of being heard. - Phil Ringnalda
