This guy is a dinosaur, and I'm happy to let him decide whether to evolve now that the big one has hit. :-)
Seriously... NOTHING he says matters. The web is a disruptive technology, and it is disrupting his way of doing business. He can try to compete without it, and he can embrace it and compete with its help, but whining about it isn't going to make much of a difference.
The web has brought millions of would-be writers out of obscurity and into near-obscurity. Millions of people are writing today who would not have been writing fifty years ago. We are communicating in ways we never have in the past, and the world is a richer place for it. Does this crowd professional writers a bit? You betcha. And the writers who rise to the top of this new tumult will be the best writers the world has ever seen, without question.
Some of them may write in 733t from time to time. We can only hope Microsoft never creates a 733t-c0mp4t1bl3 spelling dictionary...
