Hey Don? I've seen this post of yours more than once, so I'm assuming you've got it saved somewhere, ready to go whenever the Flute gets mentioned. I don't disagree with anything you've written here, but I am curious if there was a last straw for you that makes you post this every time his name comes up.

Since you asked: To be honest, the last straw was probably his intensely sour body odor and lack of hygiene the last time he cornered me at a science fiction convention in the 1980's to relentlessly yap about his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle NetNews Reader. I had no premonition of how blatantly racist and off the rails looney tunes he would become in the wake of 9/11, but even back then he left quite a strong impression, and my lizard brain just can't shake recalling the visceral olfactory memory of his fetid bouquet associated with his self aggrandizing pontifications about software design.

It doesn't help that his infamous "Sex Tips for Geeks" essay comes off like it was written by Pepé Le Pew.
