I don't know about any of that, but it was certainly loads better than Robotech. tom -- The trouble with eating German cuisine is that 3 days later, you are hungry again! -- Graham, uk.food+drink.misc

Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same. >> It was what, less than a week ago that I mentioned you offhand (and >> without insulting you) in another thread?

And in this case you saw your name being mentioned, didn't find any actual insulting of you going on there, so checked *other* recent posts by the same person in the hopes of finding something you considered to be objectionable? Or it just got you reading the newsgroup again, and sure enough sooner or later someone said something that pushed one of your buttons? >> What's your objection to Lisp anyway, prefix notation?

C's broken macros of course can't do squat because they operate at the token level, without lessening the danger any. Sledgehammer vs. scalpel, perhaps. |
