No News: another one of Mangelo's Copy&Paste articles
After his long 'recreation period' (read my article) Mike Angelo seems to be willing to break his old record in writing as much misinformation per week as possible.
But obviously he does not tax his brain very much as we can see
in his article about the release of Mozilla 1.2.1': this latest
article is no more than a blending of his previous two articles.
Mangelo writes: Mozilla 1.2.1 Browser-Suite Released
02 December 2002
AOL-Netscape's
Mozilla Organization placed the Mozilla 1.2.1 update milestone release
to its Mozilla 1.0 browser suite on its public FTP server today. In
effect, Mozilla 1.2.1 is a replacement for Mozilla 1.2, which was
recalled only two days after its release.
The
Mozilla Organization pulled the links to its 26 November 2002 Mozilla
1.2 release from its Main and Release Web pages on 29 November
-- because Mozilla 1.2 was too darn buggy! With the Mozilla 1.2 release,
Mozilla quality assurance sank to a new low as the cumbersome Lizard
slinked off with its tail drooped down between its legs. Please see
Figure 1, below, for the increase in Mozilla bugginess from the Mozilla
1.1 release to the Mozilla 1.2 release. [...] [That's
already the end of my article: just compare the paragraphs above with
his latest two articles and you see where the text comes from. In fact
this whole article is 'written' by merging parts of his articles about the release of Mozilla 1.2 and the recalling of Mozilla 1.2. Please just go to those two links to read what hair-rising nonsense these two articles contain.
So I do not feel the need to repeat all that stuff here.
In fact this latest MozillaQuest article is an all time low of quality, worse than everything else:
How can somebody mix together two articles, change "1.2" to "1.2.1"
where necessary and then shamelessly call the result another 'article'
and put it right above the two other articles that are not even a week
old??!
BUT: until now this is what Mangelo does all the time. This only gets
the all-time-low score because Mangelo even fails to replace "1.2" by
"1.2.1" wherever needed! He does not fail to do it somewhere deep in
his article, but right on the MozillaQuest homepage!
Of course he will change this sooner or later, once he recognizes it.
He also will read this page here and then (at the latest) he will blush
and correct this awkward and disclosing mistake. Or: no, he will not
blush - he is used to that feeling. But he probably still will correct
it, so I preserved this nice view for posterity: see the screenshot
below.
This was taken at about the beginning of December 4th (GMT), so that
article is almost two days old and he cannot say "I was just finishing
it" for an excuse.
Sure, I easily could have faked it, but everybody who visited the
MozillaQuest page (for whatever reason) during the past two days has
seen it and is my witness. THIS page here is about truth. I let Mangelo
doe the lies.
And why should I fake it? There are enough other ridiculous things on
his page that will stay there - because they are what he calls his
'articles'. So there is no need to fake something.]
