    So, you're arguing that coders have no common sense or ability to question user requirements?

    I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

              Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. However, if you talk to business people I think you'll find that they think it's true.

                        Don't be too quick to claim credit -- before there were programmers, it used to be a joke about engineers.

                                  if a then if b else c -> to any decent coder b and c go together, and similarly 6 goes with eggs. As a side note, sometimes I wonder if I over analyse things. But then sometimes I think "maybe I don't over-analyse things?"

                                    you're worried a duplicate joke posting will cause the CP servers to fill up or something? :)

                                        if a then if b else c -> to any decent coder b and c go together, and similarly 6 goes with eggs. As a side note, sometimes I wonder if I over analyse things. But then sometimes I think "maybe I don't over-analyse things?"

                                        ...or maybe not. Discuss.

                                        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                          If they switch to using a separate server for jokes, that would probably be a good thing.

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
