As I pointed out before, and also noted on that website, is the common
XP tactic to say that the non XP person "doesnt get it".

Here, Phlip wrongly assumes that I am "denial" of XP but some day will
see the light and "get it".

This is silly and patrician. I am not in denial of XP; I am in
acceptance that it is inane.

So go back to your typical slander about how I'm genetically inferiror
or something and in my next life will use XP?

Next...

The charter for this forum is discussion of Extreme Programming. This
material above perhaps belongs on alt.venting or
alt.other-peoples-children.raving.

Actually, it looks like progress. He seems to have moved into the anger
phase.
