That's a weird attack...

[1] I posted the link to the AMA on HackerNews. Stop acting like you "uncovered" it. It's in my submissions. I also don't think a single one of my replies on that AMA counts as a Derp - if you do, please post the replies in particular. I had a number of PM's from Redditors saying they thought it was actually very clear and interesting.

Unlike your book on Programming Android which currently has 35% of it's reviews listing as terrible. http://www.amazon.com/Android-Application-Development-Progra...

[1] "Whatever your Android programming level is, this book is a complete waste of time and definitely doesn't worth a single penny. "

[2] "I am an avid Oreilly fan. I write software in a number of different languages and environments. This has got to be the absolute worst coverage of android I've seen. It was less informative than the books covering beta releases. There are typos, not just normal sentence typos but method signatures in the examples. I feel pretty ripped off having bought this book."

One of the worst rated books in O'Reilly history it seems. Congratulations. If you want to get into personal attacks Zigurd let's do it, let's get the rulers out and do some measuring. Derp derp.

[2] The AMA was cancelled because I redacated the names of individuals from my documents (Managers etc) so the Reddit Team decided it was not valid since it could be forged. That's fair enough, it's their platform and I was not willing to provide any other than my assessment reports. I can provide you the email chain if it bothers you that much and you present a compelling enough reason to want to verify it. However some very diligent Redditors actually did find my full details and contacted me to continue the ama offline.

EDIT TO ADD: It was all very friendly and the AMA Team kicked the concept around for a over a week before they said that the evidence was not in line with their guidelines of total transparency. One of the guys actually apologised shrug. At no point was there the insinuation of lying.

[3] Unless you can counter my citations of the law with evidence that they are false then your opinion ranks a little bit below that of my daughter and she is not even 5. Last time I checked RIPA, Data Protection, HMG Security Framework were all perfectly readable right here on the internet and the Joint Service Publications were viewable under certain circumstances.

I would expect better from you than this ridiculous cheap shot making me out to be some sort of liar when we have never met and you don't know me. You could have even messaged me on Reddit with your concerns. Hell, I have the same username.
