I believe one of the things that separates smart people from stupid people isn't whether they're consistently right, but whether they can consistently admit when they're wrong. Today folks, I've posted two excellent rips into me for being a totally fucking moron. I am admitting I was wrong when I said that Ariel MS was not a person. In fact, here's her rebuttal:

I can't believe you're debating if I'm a real person when a web search shows I've been all over the web for 15 years, have published a book, been on national television, etc etc etc x 500 bla bla bla? Hilarious!

I left Microsoft last year, which likely explains why Microspotting.com is down. It's all ancient history to me at this point, but I'm *still *not sure how a site that said on the homepage that it was run by someone who worked for Microsoft could be seen as astroturfing. But whatever: it's flattering that a year later, you're still freaking out about my work blog.

Apologies

So, my apologies Ariel, and no, it's not because she's suing me or anything. It is simply because I was wrong and I try to admit my mistakes. I'd have done it sooner, but just hadn't checked the posting queue yet.

You should check out her book and look at her blog.
