This is, of course, a deep misinterpretation of what was posted and other people have said a lot on this topic. But what I loved were the different approaches in building responses.

Mike posted something very shaverly that talked about the larger issues, how we’re focused on quality more than time, how the list in question contains more than just things that will keep us from shipping Firefox and generally try to educate people about what we might do as a project in the run-up to deliver a product. (Also a link in his post that tried to educate people about the origin of the modern calendar. Bonus!)

But I really loved Asa’s response which basically amounted to “I call bullshit.” Simple. Direct. Awesome.

I love that everyone has their own way to respond. My original approach was to go in an even different direction, but I love what these guys did so I’ll leave it at that.
