- michaelwww 14y agoRight you are. That was unintentional on my part. My mind must have translated "unwashed masses" and "Joe" into "Joe sixpack." The overall tone of it still sounds derogatory to me.

- michaelwww 14y agoAccurate, although my resentment against the elite is mostly not unconscious.
- CyberDroiD 14y agoI don't find computer users elite. Nor do I find the average consumer to be masters of programming languages. "Joe Sixpack" makes sense to me. Someone who thinks computer experts are elite, and doesn't know much about computers.
