Complaining
Everything here is old. All rants, complaints, etc. since late 2001 are in the log.
(Complaining is a subset of Commentary. Make sure you check out the other complaints there!)
Nearly everyone I know says I do a lot of complaining. I've decided to begin collecting some of my complaints here.
Some people don't like complaining; they say that it's negative, and that I should be more positive. Ironically enough, telling me as much qualifies as complaining, and those people should shut up.
The truth of it, though, is that finding fault is easier than making positive statements. Things are supposed to work correctly; when they don't, it's glaringly obvious.
