As we've mentioned before, there are some great conversations going on at Sam Ruby's site concerning what is currently being called Echo. But in the schoolyard that is the Internet, Dave Winer and Mark Pilgrim need to be separated in time-out.
Mark:
Let the record reflect that we have clearly communicated a solid technical reason why we can not use XML-RPC for this project, and both Dave [Winer] and Fredrik [Lundh] have responded with nothing more than personal ad hominem attacks.
Dave:
Mark, I'm sorry I don't know what else to say to you. Is there any way for me to win with you? Could I do anything that you would approve of? Yours in utter exhaustion, Uncle!
Update: Dave Winer has taken his ball and gone home.
Welcome visitors from intertwingly.net. Feel free to take a look at what else we've been talking about lately: Markup Review #1: Revisiting CSS Signatures; Markup Review #2: Citations.
Update: Dave has brought Scripting News back online. He has linked to the page that announced he was discontinuing the site.
