People can say whatever they want about Zed, but they can't say he doesn't get things done.

Tons of people are getting things done everyday around the world. Zed happens to be part of the subset who are promoting themselves agressively on the web. Not that I think that self-promotion is bad. But it's important to recognize the distinction between promotion and productivity.

I have been thoroughly impressed with how productive Zed can be.

whether or not he is good at promoting himself - and he seems to negatively affect enough people that the point is arguable - he is good at getting things done, people who fail to acknowledge that reveal more about themselves than they do about Zed.

Zed doesn't get things done. See, people can too say it. ;)
