Too true. A lot of great thinking goes on there, and it's a worthwhile endeavour to see beyond the design choices they made.

But Harry Lorayne's thinking is the most fun to read, for sure. A friend of mine sent me a few links once to some of his longer posts (longer compared to most of his). Dude writes frickin' essays with tonnnnnnns of resources named in them - it's crazy. I'll post a link or two if I still have them tomorrow.
