Or his rants about other software not sticking to standards.  Right 
before he goes ahead and ignores a piece of standard because he thinks 
it's stupid.

Standards aren't supposed to be the best way of doing things, just a way 
that everyone has agreed to.

If the designers of X-windows built cars, there would
be no fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the

Useful feature, that.
