    If I say no, you'll just assume I'm being sarcastic... And so will I. So, "No."

          There exists at least one programmer who is not sarcastic. But who cares, he must not be very good.

                          sarcasm[^]: noun 1. harsh or bitter derision or irony. 2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: "a review full of sarcasms." I think sarcasm becomes a hallmark of most programmer personalities. There is a dissonance between the world and our models of it that gets to be very frustrating, and the expression of that frustration is sarcasm. Or quiet drooling in a corner.

                            My level of sarcasm is directly proportional to the level of incompetence around me. Sadly, that means that I am almost always sarcastic to some degree or other. ;) Marc

                              Lets see, programmers are highly logical people who mostly work in a corporate environment. Why would we be sarcastic? :confused:

                                        The use of "withhold" implies to me that he means you should hold it back until it builds up enough to really put someone's eye out.
