The first post resonated with me - spot on I thought and emailed the link to anyone I thought would feel the same.<p>I don't think we should be surprised that some folks did not understand the point being made - 'twas ever thus.<p>I also feel that the "meme" captured here resonated nicely with Dave Winer's post <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/04/soonItWillBeTimeToStartOve.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/04/soonItWillBeTime...</a> and with John Resig's <a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-language-abstractions/" rel="nofollow">http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-language-abstractions/</a> .
