Written by David Kushner, who apparently has made a career out of writing appallingly bad biographies that are nevertheless readable because their subjects are so interesting (e.g. "Masters of Doom", about John Carmack, John Romero and the creation of id software, in which he actually says (paraphrasing) "It was the early 90's, and Romero was programming in a hot new language called 'C'." [C was created in the early 1970s])
Oh yeah, and the guy who writes WinHoldem can try to justify it any way he wants, but he's still an enormous douche who should have his own flesh fed to him. A few years from now, when we're all periodically answering Captchas or word problems or chatting with a live operator to make sure we're human while we play (and of course paying a higher rake because of it), we can all thank Ray Bornert.
