For what it's worth, my cynical alter-ego read through Chris'
whole post expecting spelling and/or grammatical errors, and was fairly
impressed when I found no obvious problems.
I was even more impressed when these guys taught me a new word:
"colophon". I was expecting a discourse on the workings of someone's
lower digestive tract, but instead got an inside look at the
technological and dietary leanings of the WDN staff :)
Just in case anyone else is ignorant but interested:

Cheers,

Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed, or are you always
gratuitously rude and disrespectful? When you write, "Your post is very
poorly written," I'd like to see an example or two. Actually the
original post seemed quite clear to me.
The issue of HTTP authentication is probably just an error that crept in
as they opened up their site to the public. Couldn't you just mention it
nicely and give them the benefit of the doubt?
I had no problem accessing WebDevNews.com.
