After reading this thread, I have an idea. In one of his posts Paul mentioned that this site is visited by a quarter of a million people a month. I can't think of a better place for you to spread some of your philanthropy than to JavaRanch. Since you have mentioned that you could write a Java based bulletin board, why don't you do it and give it to Paul as a replacement to UBB? I for one would be interested in learning something from you, as I'm sure would the rest of the ranch. Since you claim that:
"The quality of my work raises the bar of society's expectations of software. My philanthropy lies in my ability to increase the value of what programmers do in the eyes of the world. That is a far greater gift than any mere cash donation I could ever afford."
I say it's time to stop talking and start coding. Come back and show us what you can do, rather than continuing to pat yourself on the back.

Classic demonstration of paranoia, as well. And what postions are we supposed to be defending?Originally posted by Chris May:
Classic. Rather than defend positions with rational arguments you all gang up and make personal attacks.

Never wrote a book. Never taught a class. Just write code. Quick and dirty. Works for me.

But I see lot of valid points to use UBB but not willing to go for Java is what which makes me sick...
