I also notice you have not mentioned anything about the 70 billion dollar bailout for the serialization library and spreading the wealth. I assume the cheque's in the mail. I purposely overlooked that comment. It seemed to be an attempt at some sort of criticism.
I was pointing out how quickly things changed in the automobile industry. I don't think anyone would argue that the computer industry is less volatile than the automobile industry. I'm also dismayed by the government's investment of billions of dollars in General Motors. (I'm not sure if the amount is closer to 50 billion or 70 billion.)
It's absolutely amazing to me how much I've been criticised (many times personally) for making this library.
I'm not sure if you are referring to me there. I have at times pointed out what I consider to be weaknesses of the serialization library. I don't think I've criticised you personally. Maybe I'm just oversensitive. Being mentioned in the same sentence as one of largest government fiascos of all time didn't seem to me as be complementary. This is another good reason for overlooking this stuff as its intention isn not always clear and its not relevant in any case. It could be worse. I thank my lucky stars that that the serialization library was not (to my knowledge) used in the search for weapons of mass destruction.
