That's where the picture was taken, but that doesn't say the guy isn't from Africa. I run circles around you guys (and gals if any) logically. *sigh" It's lonely at the top. C-B > Marshall

I wonder why you changed the title. Your only published book[1] is "The MUMPS Handbook of Efficiency Techniques: 125 Ways to Make Your Mumps Applications Run Faster." Rather less impressive sounding, ain't it? No doubt very popular nonetheless. Footnotes: [1] Correct me if I'm wrong. You keep referring to it as your first book, so surely there's a second book? -- Jesse F. Hughes -- A lesson in meta-honesty -- Baba: Thanks for being honest. Quincy (age 7): I won't be honest next time. And that's more honesty.

MUMPS is obsolescent, MUMPS programs looking like something Musatov would post in his spare moments. I expect Charlie has rewrote his book using F#. About the marvel that is MUMPS see e.g. http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/A_Case_of_the_MUMPS.aspx -- Aatu Koskensilta (aatu.koskensilta(a)uta.fi) "Wovon mann nicht sprechen kann, dar�ber muss man schweigen" - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

The caption says "Highlands man ..." referring to the highlands of Papua New Guinea. But perhaps he lived in Africa in a previous life. > I run circles around you guys (and gals if any) logically. LOL. Indeed, the fact that you can question whether a picture of a resident of Papua New Guinea might have come from Africa completely validates your approach of making fun of zuhair's name. That is logic for you; never know where it's going to lead. Marshall |
