Am I sorry or not?

One of the consequences of the New Internet World Order is that it is very easy to set up a web site like www.sorryeverybody.com and equally easy to set up a response like www.notsorryeverybody.com. This state of affairs clearly calls out for some sort of competition between the two. At dinner last night, someone suggested that there should be a site like www.amisorryornot.com? I guess it would have been funnier if the “not sorry” site had pictures of people not being sorry. Then “sorry or not” could have picked a picture and had visitors vote whether the person looked sorry or not…

(I have to admit in my consummate geekdom that I think that the funniest “X or not” site is www.amibiosornot.com.)

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
