For those who missed the context of this post, its author is the same Ron Garret who recently wrote "My take on Arc" (http://rondam.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-take-on-arc.html, posted on Hacker News at https://qht.co/item?id=107623). Those who noticed the name of this post's author, Erann Gat, could easily be confused: he changed his name to Ron Garret several years ago (http://www.flownet.com/ron/eg-rg-faq.html).
