Dave Winer fires off an attorney nastygram to Rogers over some random bullshit that appears to be extremely petty now that Winer’s a millionaire. I hate this kind of stuff. You’d think that someone as well-known as Winer would know not to piss-off his audience on his farewell journey.
Winer says he’ll stop blogging by the end of this year, but I say, “why wait 9 months?”
About Mike Rundle
Oh well, Dave Winer has quit blogging before. Once he got so upset with Mark Pilgrim that he quit blogging… which he managed to keep up for at least a couple of hours.
I see the news and I think to myself: “finally”. It’s time he moved on, I can read the news elsewhere.
If I’m not mistaken, Dave Winer has been financially well off for several years, not just because of his sale to Verisign.
I totally agree. 9 months are 9 months too many. That stuff is just so tiring, useless and, most of all, infantile – it might just help to get that “h” into that family name at the end. At least one positive result of the whole sordid affair.
It’s also worth mentioning that Dave responded on his blog (hope this URL makes it through spam filters)

I started a Dave Winer countdown clock — but i’ll probably have to change it a few times:
