I'm sure you did. Matloff is not likely to sympathize with arrogant H-1Bs that think
they are so much better than US workers. I'm with Matloff 100% on this. You also have
shown how much you hate facts, and Matloff has plenty of them for you to choke on.
Matloff has updated his paper, pay it a visit and choke some more.

Hey Dale, why don't you give Hank his lawn mower back?

We most certainly do need more your type and less of Tim Keating's type. We have
way too many Pat Bachanan-style conpiracy nuts and protectionists in this
country already. We need your type more than we need Jay, Kev, Dan,
Philotsopher, InsuranceBroker and all the rest of the loony Lobotomy Club that
trolls around from a.c.c. Please consider immigrating to the US permanently if
you have not already.

I had a comparatively civil discussion with him but came away singularly
unimpressed. He seems to have not a single clue about the real world of
programming, having held a programming job only once for a short time. I took one
of his claims, namely that any experienced programmer would, in one month, become
equally as productive in a new language as he was in a language he's used for
years and years, and asked real programmers over in comp.lang.c++ what they
thought of this claim. Nobody could agree with that statement, including known
names in the C++ field like Koenig. To a man they disagreed. Matloff refused to
accept this, yet never went over to comp.lang.c++ to discuss this or explain what
he meant when presented with the facts that even the top experts in C++ like
Koenig disagreed with him. (Matloff has no distinction in C++, or in CompSci for
that matter. His only real distinction is in statistics, where he once published a
college statistics text. He teaches CompSci at one of the lesser U of C
satellites.) In the end, he just gave up and stalked off. We corresponded by email
for a while afterward about other things (we had a couple of things in common that
had nothing to do with H-1B), which have no place here in this public forum.
Matloff is one of those not so rare phenomena in academia: a guy who shoots his
mouth off on things for which he has no clue nor credentials. The thing that
struck me was his complete and total disinterest in what real programmers were
actually thinking and doing. If you look up his name you'll see that he doesn't
sport any contact with any of the programming newsgroups.

He has a following who like to portray everything he does as a magnificent
triumph. For a while philotsopher was pretending that I had been ineffective and
abusive with Matloff and Matloff had been a perfectly genteel and totally
effective and triumphant debator who masterfully proved every point, who finally
just gave up on me as hopeless and politely walked away. In fact, he'll repeat it
now when he reads this.

In other words, you are preferring to fill them with bilge instead of
intelligence.
