Hello Charles!

Replying to a message of Charles Angelich to You:

 JC>> www.netropolis.org/hash/perl/virtue.html 

 JC>> It may have originated with the PERL world, but many of the
 JC>> basic ideas apply equally (if not more) to C programming. 

 CA> The ideas expressed at that URL would be more appropriate for a
 CA> matchbook cover. 

Funny that - it has exploded into a programming community that is renowned
for simply getting things done.  Fast.  Accurately.  And cheaply.  Either
it's some matchbook cover, or you're in over your head and just throwing ad
hominum attacks to direct attention away from your own inadequacies.  What
you don't realise is that the average IQ in this echo (when we discount
you) is high enough to see straight through your smoke and see you for the
petty man you really are.

It's exactly those qualities that keep me coding 10-50% faster than any of
my co-workers.  It's exactly those qualities that got me hooked on Perl to
begin with.  You may want to take another look at them.  Although, from
what I've seen from you in the last few weeks, I wouldn't hold my breath
waiting for an open mind on the issue...

Darin
