Let me say that I feel it is a bad thing to flame people who are in error. And is a good thing to have this net to find the ways out of our errors. For we all have sinned (and some of us are unrepentant). Let's take more submissions with :-)'s galore and few (AT LEAST!) with some technical contents. Now, to the business at hand: From article <601@dicomed.UUCP> (dmh@dicomed.UUCP (Dave Hollander)): > >Well excuse me! I was trained as a programer in collage ( in Pascal of >course) ... I myself have a very low opinion about Pascal, but it is certainly unfair to use it for collage or consider it an example of such... :-) No, it isn't a multifarious collection of surprising things, but a very methodical and consistent collection of restrictions and missed oportunities. > ... and also by Bell Laboratories but these types of problems are >beyond what they saw fit to teach. However, you may agree that in no discipline one may progress by simply learning what others "see fit to teach". Let's hear for the old virtue of going beyond that and getting *what one sees fit to learn*. > > ... > >I hope you have to fix one of my broken programs some day! > That sounds like a terrible curse :-) May your $paths take you some day to ALL the sources in the usenet and be your pains as long and frightening as the lint warnings you will get (How's that for a counter-curse?) > Dave Hollander Cesar -- Cesar Augusto Quiroz Gonzalez Department of Computer Science {allegra|seismo}!rochester!quiroz University of Rochester or Rochester, NY 14627 quiroz@ROCHESTER
