    Guys, I felt this was very appropriate for us in here. We used to have less than flattering terms for this guy (i.e. squatter) but Joel Spolsky calls him the "Duct Tape Programmer". http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2009/09/23.html[^]

    Fear not my insanity, fear the mind it protects.

        you have no friggin’ idea what this frigtard is talking about, but he just won’t go away Well said by Joel. I've worked with these types of individuals in the past and can relate.
