@scruss I would think it's quite important to distinguish between someone's achievement(s) and them as a person if we want to exist as a healthy community. (Don't we all know that one programmer, delivering incredible ideas but being a real asshole otherwise?). Or reducing any person to a single verdict. We're all rather complex and have to live with each other.

It's not about being non-judgemental, quite opposite, just about keeping in mind that there is no absolute and single point resolution to the complex nature everyone and the world at whole is.

This goes especially for our heroes ofpast days when we discover that they are real people, usually quite unlike our cosy admiration.

Also, nicely done. A fond memory of those times does not bear any relation to anyone else involved - no matter if it's AMS or that stupid neighbour kid beating me all the time at apple panic :))
