Please Keith. I did not HIJACK anything. I just dared to tell Mr
Pritchard that for compiling small programs the command line could
be a lot faster and simpler than an IDE.

Is that "hijacking" a thread???

Specially when you have posted hundreds of times that you do not use
IDEs and use the command line instead???

Perhaps you didn't understand that when I wrote:

what I *really* meant was

I'm expressing no opinion on whether the thread was hijacked.

I honestly didn't pay enough attention to that part of the discussion
to have an opinion. Jonathan Pritchard said you hijacked the thread;
since I was commenting in general terms on something else he wrote, I
felt it was important to state that I wasn't endorsing (or rejecting)
that statement. My intent was only to clarify why he was mistaken in
treating the thread as if he owned it. (I'm not pounding on Jonathan
here; I think it's clear that he now understands this.)

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
