Here is one of so many replies I have recieved, so far, which condemns your
RUDE behavior!!

"I am appalled at the treatment that you are receiving at the
fingertips of some people here.  It seems to be a defensive
mechanism for some people to belittle advances in matters
that they do not understand.  I have some experience with this
in relation to software I have written.  I am sure that people
reading archived copies of comp.software-eng articles in the future
will shake their heads at your hecklers.  Others, like me, are
probably doing that now."

Note: I have other letters like this which would follow if you continue your
      rude behavior

My dad is bigger than your dad! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I have requested a "simpleton" explanation of the stuff that you have posted,
but I have yet to see any. So, enlighten me, anyways. I am now genuinely
interested in learning atleast "the drift" of what you posted.

We can take this to e-mail, if you wish, or we can continue the pissing contest
in a public forum.

I don't want this to sound bad, but perhaps this is a communications problem.
As you have undoubtedly ascertained, there are certain areas in which I am
extremely ignorant, but I think I have a mediocre grasp of the English 
language. From your abstract and succesive posts, submitted in an essentially
public forum, I was unable to derive any clue of what you speak, largely due
to its heavy reliance on jargon.

They will undoubtedly shake there heads at a number of other things, such
as low "signal to noise" ratio (sorry guys/gals!), which I am undoubtedly
doing nothing to help (but I'm trying!).

No! No! Please! No more of those...those letters (*gasp*).

Again, let's take this to e-mail.

	Please all you *highly* educated software engineers, take your
flame war elsewhere or e-mail.  I want to read the *real* discussion
about *real* software engineering.
