I don't think that was the parent's intent. Dave Winer basically invented RSS and OPML.

No, Winer did not invent RSS. Please know your history before spouting nonsense. Winer pushed RSS into the mainstream no doubt. But he wasn't the inventor, in any sense of the word.

[jrockway]

I said "basically". The only point I was trying to make is that the guy who misspelled his name might not have been making fun of Winer's name.

[__pThrow]

Of course he was. He was saying that Dave Winer was "whining" about Google et. al., shifting away from RSS.

Bullshit comment that I hate seeing on HN.

Typo or lighthearted joke. Either way, chill out

Could be a typo.

Relax, go have a cig.
