Dave Winer thinks he's more influential than Bob Dylan or John Lennon. Is this dude freakin kidding or what? Those two gentlemen are pop culture icons (and music legends) who've sold millions of records worldwide. Dave Winer is a well known person in the world of technology. There's a big difference there my friend. You're not even close to having that level of influence. I hate to see a seemingly sane and intelligent person get such a big head. You're a dude who's done some excellent things in the world of technology, but it's a comparitavely small audience that you're speaking to.
