What a hypocrite, you yourself just recently said that it would be
handled by the compiler.

I did do research, I went to your website (pathetic GUIs btw), I went and
read some articles filled with more gibberish, I compared your posting here
to the content of the Postmodernism Generator and found scary similarities,
and read and experimented with the code you posted. I did not contact you
by email because that is inappropriate for things being discussed in an
open forum.

> Instead, because you yourself are anxious about your own competence,

Bzzzt. Wrong. I'm not remotely anxious about it. I'm also not the one that
is afraid to even discuss the record, because it might blow holes in
claims made therein. That person is you.

Apparently that is your prime directive.

Hello.... you are the one incapable of being wrong, ever.

Then stop participating and making reference to me in practically
every post to this group for the last several months, even after
I stopped responding or commenting upon you at all.

LOL. Whatever. Your persiflage is indeed the most extensive on
record to date. I suppose in your world that's a good thing. Be
happy, etc.

Where do you get this crap? You have a 500lb chip on your shoulder
about "fitting in" in the workplace. I'm sorry your teammates didn't
love you or whatever, but not everyone had that experience.

WTF?

Wow, that's rich coming from you.

You are the troll. Look in the mirror.

Even the truly paranoid have real enemies, eh Nilges?

Be my guest. This should be amusing.
