    computer culture racists. And don't take me wrong, I'm a C++ programmer. But I also program in other languages. I just find those threads bad taste. Michel It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

                Yeah, i like that. I never have to ask VB programmers questions on what techniques to use when writing simple algorithms; when they address me, they should be using appropriate terms of respect.

We can find an unused country, rename it C++ Land and stick all you under appreciated C++ programmers there. The only communications out of your new wonderful country will be compiled C++ apps for the rest of us to use. We will send in the specs, pizza and nudey magazines, you send out apps. At least then the rest of us can get on with life and you guys will be as happy as punch in a land without a single VB programmer. Sound good? ;P

                                        You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

                                          Yeah, thats another good emotive word. As soon as you need to disagree with some one call them a racist, Nazi, homophobic etc. It's all part of the Politically Correct Lefts attempt to reinsert Communism into our society via anarchy. :-( Regardz Colin J Davies

                                          Naaahhhh! You missed my winkie. ;) Seinfeld started it all... The Soup Nazi... The Stationery Nazi... Not that there's anything wrong with that! No Code For You! Now for the serious part... Colin^Davies wrote: As soon as you need to disagree with some one call them a racist, Nazi, homophobic etc. It's all part of the Politically Correct Lefts attempt to reinsert Communism into our society via anarchy I fully agree with you here. It's not political correctness though. It's an attempt to belittle an opponent (in an argument) by reducing their argument to a slur. I find it happens mostly when the user of this technique cannot, or cannot be bothered to, think of a reasonable counter argument and resorts to character assassination instead. I've been fairly busy in the last few days (I've interviewed six candidates eight time this week) and there is more to come. I haven't really kept up with the lounge activity this week. My comment was meant to be light hearted. I apologise if you have taken offence at it. Now I'm off home. My broadband cable stopped working this morning. My network card is reporting an unplugged cable. I suspect it's the modem. So I'll probably have to be on the phone to support for a while. Last weekend it was my HD, this weekend... *sigh* Cheers The universe is driven by the complex interaction between three ingredients: matter, energy, and enlightened self-interest.
