I'm not, and you've apparently not figured out what my intent was. 
Note, I never said anything about Gates efforts.  I specifically asked 
Drew what had Gates done that would identify him as creative programmer. 
  The point is, I don't think Drew knew, or cared.  His intent was to 
troll, cause disruption on the list for his enjoyment.

Now it's just my opinion that that was Drew's intent...
