Autocomplete for "why steve jobs was a" gives "Jerk" as first result.

That was kind. My first impulse was to see what autocomplete has to offer about blogs and bloggers. Autocomplete for "why bloggers are" gives "not journalists" as first result, whereas "why blog authors" comes up with "ask rhetorical questions". Not to mention the first result for "why blog writers are".

Seriously, let's not use Google autocomplete as an excuse to jump on a meme bandwagon.

There was a post and a discussion not so long ago (can't find it now, no matter how much I try) about how people in our line of work focus on the negative by nature of our work and how we receive negative feedback all the time. At least that discussion was interesting, whereas this post is a typical "don't be such a jerk" post. Not that I necessarily disagree with the content, but this has crossed beyond the "beating the dead horse" territory into that "inflict Peter Jackson gore films on the poor dead horse" place that, ironically, makes me even grumpier.
