There are *many* *valuable* online resources missing in the online
resources section, as you know.
What do I know? You have made attraction for media produced by Douglas
Crockford very clear to this group. I know that! You like Douglas
Crockford.
I have reviewed several of those vidon this very newsgroup.
Correction: "vidon" should be "videos on", as in:

"I have reviewed several of those videos on this very newsgroup."

And to be fair, I have probably reviewed only about three videos by D
Crockford here.


Who gives a damn about your reviews ?

The person who cares about the technical review would have to be capable of understanding the subject matter at hand and the review. I already posted that above.

Crockford is Crockford, and you are... who you are ?

Crockford is an old, experienced person that has been into programming
computers since (likely) before you were even born. Crockford happens
to deliver, gems like JSON, JSLINT, JSMIN... he's as well the putative
father the key ideas (mainly: keep it small) behind the forthcoming
5th edition of ECMAScript.(*)


Crockford's age has as much relevance as my age, or even your age, for that matter.

Being old is not an implication to shitting ice cream.

Crockford's material should be reviewed as any material should be, whether by me or D Mark, or kangax or anyone.

The review should not be influenced by his age, nor the software he has produced.

I believe that your are way way off by calling D Crockford the "putative father ..." behind ECMAScript, 5th Edition.

So, if there are online, for free, ~16 videos about JavaScript by Mr.
Crockford no more no less, they ought to the listed in the online
resources FAQ, no matter what the feelings of (you) a certain guy
called smith-who are, or those of the usual bunch of regular
idio^H^H^H^H^Hs in cljs.

Insulting all of the regulars by calling us idiots is not really a good way to engage in technical discussion.

I would attribute your behavior to your what seems to be religious fanaticism for D Crockford. It does not help D Crockford in any way. It does not help you. Insulting all of us doesn't help the group.

You should stop.
