Tom ends with a poem implying his users should shut up, which is worth citing in it's entirety:

"A wise old owl sat in an oak \ The more he heard, the less he spoke \ The less he spoke, the more he heard \ Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird."

I imagine the working in the consumer web space - "bottom-feeding" - as he put it, is not his ideal career.




I think it's interesting that he took it upon himself to write this unnecessary and unnecessarily long blog post then demonstrated his complete lack of self-awareness by putting this poem at the end.


It's plausible he is the owl here.
