Dumbest Dave Statement Ever?

Dave Winer has said a lot of dumb things over the past few years, but this one is his all-time lowest point (at least since I’ve been reading Scripting News),

With all due respect to Jeffrey Veen, who I know from my Wired days, his experience with the email model type of RSS reader is exactly why that’s the model you don’t want to use. It’s not like email. Let the river of items flow through your queue, scroll over them with a scroll bar, and don’t let the software tell you you’re falling behind. Your time is what’s valuable, there’s no value to the items you didn’t read. If it’s important it’ll pop up again. RSS is not email. Don’t sort them out into little boxes that you have to go to, make them flow to you, in a river, unsorted. I wish people would just listen to this simple idea, so many people are using RSS the wrong way.

Stupid users — you’re using the software the wrong way! Dave boiled down to his essence.
