Some time ago, somebody clicked the “Contact me” link in the navigation bar, and despite the warnings, asked a technical question. I responded, “If you have a question you can post it to the suggestion box.” The reply:
Please, don’t use a bot which pretends to be you to answer e-mails. Especially such a poorly-designed one.
Maybe those people were right. Perhaps I’m a robot. (It would certainly be a lot easier for me if I were.)
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.
