How to be a complete arsehole - part 1
Part 1 in a series of tips on how to be regarded as a complete arsehole. Today’s hint:
answer questions like “publiclook” did below, on the cocoa-dev mailing list. Here’s a

A more useful answer would point out that you can create an NSView in
a nib file, and just load that nib file to obtain the view whenever required. The same view
can be set as the contentView of windows, or added as a subview of any other view in your application.
Publiclook’s answer, however, just indicates a tendency towards being an utter tosser. Bonus points are
duly awarded for not using a real name, and for quoting Danny Swarzman’s entire email signature in the
reply.
