There's a guy around here somewhere who can debug your problem (no
matter what it is) using only the debugger. Impressive. But if by some
strange chance he doesn't have time to answer your question, you'll
have to rely on the rest of us, and I'm afraid we tend to need to see
the source code.

Yes Heathfield, very amusing, how we all admire your cleverness and wit.

Fact is, *noone* has claimed to be able to debug code using only a
debugger and not seeing the source code. *You* on the other hand (and
many of your lackeys and lickspittles) have claimed on many occasions
that you can debug any problem using only a printout of the source code
and never a debugger.

Cite three instances that fit this claim.

Well, he can't, Chris, can he? The best he can do is quote himself or some
other troll pretending that I made such a claim.

Incidentally, I find it very strange that the trolls have no objection to
extending other people's positions, but don't like their own positions to
be extended.

Yes, I did extend the position held by one of the trolls that the debugger
is an essential tool - I forget whether it's Twink or Noname - to the
position that it *suffices* in all cases, and source code is never
required, which I think we can all agree is an untenable proposition. Of
course, this would have been dishonest, had I not pointed out what I had
done in that very same article.

Conclusions:

(1) our resident trolls either can't or won't read an entire article for
comprehension;
(2) they don't like being trolled;
(3) they can't grasp simple facts;
(4) they can't reason very well.

It's just as well I have them killfiled, really, or I'd waste huge amounts
of time arguing with them. I know they don't believe I've killfiled them,
but that's just another demonstration of (3).
