That has become obvious to me. 

There was a person posting in the C_echo who was preoccupied
with 'standards' and spouting off about what committees he was
on and what the 'official' this, that, or the other position of
said committees would be. It was almost funny but
excruciatingly dull and at times arrogant when he was lecturing
programmers he was not the equal of. Eventually most left the
echo and discussion of programming stopped and never has
re-started again. 

I wonder how many times self-aggrandizing buffoons have
persuaded programmers that their 'audience' were just morons
who didn't deserve newer or better software?
