I can't recall that many examples of premature verdicts. At least not to an
extent that would warrant the fool label. As a matter of fact it was a great
service, especially the Noomen updates, so I think you're wrong. It's always
risky to expose yourself (semi-)publically like Noomen did. Being a complete
prat afterwards is a lot easier.
