Note to Chuck Crayne



I would not normally raise a moderation issue in public but afer Chuck
Crayne allowing personal criticism in CLAX and has repeatedly rejected
the replies, here is the response to Betov that was rejected.

Its not as if anyone needs the advice of the author of a broken
assembler.

Have you forgotten this posting is in CLAX, not ALA.

Snailpace software, assemblers that support object modules and a linker
produce the final binary in about ONE TENTH of the time. It is only
hacky little demos built with a hacky little assembler that are so
badly designed that they must build everything every time.

Complete with its own list of self replicating bugs. I wonder when the
author of the broken assembler will start fixing the major technical
problems in it that any of the professional assembler easily handle.
Things like hash table collisions and label count limitations.

I understood that CLAX was being run to avoid ALL of the nonsense that
regularly goes on in ALA but he has continued to allow postings of this
type from Betov.

======================================================
He is a Power Basic programmer, who inserts occasionaly
Asm Code into his HLL developements, and he never wrote
anything significative, in full Assembler. His most
significative Application, in full Assembly, is the
Editor found in the MASM32 package. Just take a look at
it, and you will understand better with who you are
debating, and the reason why he cannot live without such
debates and such attitudes, pushing the readers to
interpretations, that are nothing but the exact reverse
of facts.
======================================================
As randall Hyde, the great expert in Flex and Bison wrote
above, if your String Length is not fast enough for you,
it is quite simple to not execute it, so that will take
zero time, and will beat hands down all of your demential
and ridiculous "Algos", whereas all of the ones in need
of an effective and practical snippet will live happy with:
======================================================

This is the criterion used.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Your message has been rejected because it expresses
a negative personal opinion about another person
or group, which in the judgement of the moderator is
more likely to provoke an emotional response, than it
is to lead to any improvement in the situation.

Please note that the moderators do not edit any posts,
and therefore must reject the entire post, if any part
of it is unacceptable. For information on how to write
acceptable posts, please read the policy FAQ at:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

There is a consistency problem with how this criterion is being applied
that needs to be resolved. I understood that CLAX was being run as a
technical group, not as a vehicle to selectively criticise some people
at the expense of others.
