Yes; you should realize that you were flamed so much because people were
feeling deeply guilty about their own failure to practice what they preach.
Here was a perfect scapegoat -- someone who could be read as not understanding
what to do and could be lectured about it by those who REALLY intend to do it
right, but somehow don't quite get around to it. (Please no flames from those
who really do go to the effort to do it right -- you are a rare breed; for
most of us, it is just too damned easy to "code" and too damned hard to think
and to rewrite.
