I usually bitch about the length and boring nature of his posts. For once I can finally say, damn good writing and interesting piece.

Finally a story that stays focused and actually entertains the reader from beginning to end. Makes me wonder if he actually spent some time editing this one instead of just spewing it out in his usual stream of conscienceless style.

No complaints, damn fine writing, I actually felt for the poor fish! Best post I've seen from him.

Tangent on the length complaint:

I felt that way when I first started reading his stuff, but now it's kind of a relaxing thing. The writing style just pulls you through, and at the end you feel like you've learned something of significance. It is a nice break from the more hectic style of reading I do online. At least, that was my experience after reading his post on the properties pattern.
