Just as anyone else has a right to respond to his rants.

Merely quoting someone confirms their right to bitch? Not sure I follow
that logic; but whatever floats your little leaf.

He's being disingenuous and rather rude, as far as I'm concerned. And
he's demonstrating either willful ignorance, or an incapability to
understand and acknowledge basic software development realities, instead
choosing go so far as to accuse someone he has likely never met or
gotten to know well of being dishonest. I have the right to object to
that. And your claim that my posts are unnecessary is the polar opposite
of your statement that Browne has the right to air his irritations.
Apparently you would like to apply a double standard here.
