There's one in every crowd...

I heard about this posting by R. Jayakumar...:

"Use a PC. who would spend the trouble of creating a program for an OS used by less than 2% of the world computer users, a fraction of which are involved in sequence analysis?"

...in the methodsandreagents.bionet newsgroup (don't ask). I know I should be used to this kind of thing by now, having seen comments like this for years but I have to admit that grossly uninformed or misleading commentary still gets my dander up.

I responded both directly via e-mail to the poster and indirectly in this discussion group thread.

That oughta learn him...
