May be tangential, but I've been reading Dave Winer off and on for several years, and I always have such a hard time figuring out why he feels so slighted? Either he suffers from a serious martyr complex, there's a grand conspiracy going around to hinder his greatness from blooming or I've simply never grown accustomed to his slightly boastful writing (seriously, the ratio of blog posts where he mentions he invented RSS should be the basis for a measure like the Winer Self-Aggrandizement Index or WSAI).
