  • Others [tbray.org] are also veering [tbray.org] onto the other side of the curve.
    • Tim Bray simply reports that he's thinking about it, and there is a lot of downside. He's not talking about other people. I'm not sure what you mean by "other side of the curve", since Tim says he's switch to Solaris. That's more like regressing to 1998. It's not even in the curve.

      • Hmm?

        • “Other side of the curve” is ziggy’s phrasing, in his case referring to Windows. That is better?
        • I did say “veering onto,” not “on.”
        • “Other” was a link to Tim’s weblog, so I don’t know where you got your impression that I was talking about a lot of people.
        • You didn't link "Other", you linked "Others". You used the plural. Why would you say "other" if you meant a single, particular person?

          Ziggy was talking about windows. Tim Bray wasn't. You implied that he was by continuing Ziggy's metaphor.

          You wrote it, not me. Have the balls to defend it if that's what you meant, or just declare "mea culpa".
          • I’m surprised that of all the things I wrote recently, this is rather innocent seeming aside is the one to get backlash. All I could own up to is that what I wrote seems to imply something I didn’t intend it to. I guess I’m hereby doing that. I’m sorry if I offended anyone in some way am not aware of.
