Groklaw shutting down in May

Hi Mr. Mueller,
I am flattered and pleased that you have deigned to reply! Not even in my dreams have I conceived of conversing, even over the Internet, with someone worthy enough to have been credited in three separate (!) Blizzard Entertainment titles. However, I sense that you are being overly coy in stating your qualifications. No doubt there are numerous employee-of-the-month and high school yearbook awards that you have omitted to mention, due to a misplaced sense of modesty. Please, don't hold back on this account.

@cyd, you are actually right that I didn't list all of them. CNET Networks UK handed me (jointly with an activist organization) the Outstanding Contribution to Software Development Award, Silicon.com put me on the list of the 50 Silicon Agenda Setters, Linux Magazine named me runner-up to its Outstanding Contribution to Linux & Open Source Award. But the reason I didn't mention those awards is because I wanted to focus on those with the most impressive fellow laureates -- more impressive than any fellow laureates Groklaw can point to.

I think you failed the sarcasm test, buddy. :)
I know you're responding to someone claiming you're a nobody, but just as a friendly (really) bit of advice: waving your fame-dick around in public just makes you look like you're trying to compensate for something else, and doesn't impress anybody at all.
You see, people are so impressed by me that they can't get enough - except for that last poster, who is obviously either someone from groklaw or a team of lawyers from IBM ... or both!
