I have an idea for reducing the cyberbullying at this ng which I've
also used at humanities.lit.authors.shakespeare.

It is "The Spinoza Challenge".

I will take a test on a programming topic without special preparation
and closed book, and report my score, along with information as to my
overall familiarity with the tested platform, language or topic.

My first Spinoza Challenge: beat my score: I just took the C++ test
that is available on Spark Notes athttp://www.sparknotes.com/cs/c++fundamentals/review/quiz.html
and received 76%.

I've just started using C++, practically for the first time (although
I've done some maintenance on C++ code in the past). I've always
wanted to learn it, and I am using it in this thread to evaluate and
to wrap the "Beautiful" regex parser in Beautiful Code.

Beat my score on this or any other online-available test without
special preparation and report them to this thread.

I extend my special invitation to Randy Howard and Richard Heathfield.

My guess, based on my experience, is that the honest and open users of
this ng will take the challenge. The cyberbullies will make themselves
scarce.
