Completely off topic, but for some reason it irks me seeing all these articles on MartinFowler.com which aren’t by Martin.

It rubs me like “Tom Clancy” novels not written by Tom.

Like we would likley never see them or care if it weren’t for the name.

If you look closely they tend not to be "Tom Clancy" but "Tom Clancy's". No Clancy book with the apostrophe is worth reading.

Why be so specific? Speaking as a Tom Clancy who read the first four or five.

I resent the implication. Or appreciate it. Whichever you prefer.
