Re: Reminder, blatant ad

Hello Dawn,

I do respect many of your opinions, but maybe you could give me more
insight. It seems in many of your past postings, that:

1) You think that throwing data control (I mean real life 'facts' here,
not bits on a hard drive) into the domain of the developer (who is a
person that really has no connection with the data) is a good thing.
In other words,

Me: 'Hey, developer, build me a sandwich'

D: 'OK, I can do that, what do you have in the fridge?'

Me: 'I don't know, go look at it and figure it out. Oh, and here's a
knife if you need it'

D: 'Hmm, OK I'll do my best. Did you want mustard with that? Maybe
you might want to know if somebody else wants mustard? Wait a second
.... is there somebody else?'

Me: 'Well, that's not important right now, is it?'

2) You seem to sing 'convenience' in many of your posts (under the
hoods). Personally, and perhaps unfortunately, I think we can't always
be convenient when it comes to modelling reality.

3) It's almost like you're trying to say that RM is this thing that we
have to 'put up' with. You could be correct in a 'convenient' way, but
wrong in a 'correct' way. Think about it.

4) Keep up the discussion. I enjoy it immensely. I'll certainly be
perusing your blog every now and again.

Todd
