I then took an online test in C++, a language I do not use based on a

Mr. Heathfield, who I now understand does not consider himself a C++
expert, instead a C expert (?), scored 80%. Mr Howard took the test

Breaking news: it now appears (as of 7:24 PM China time 1-1-2007) that
Mr. Heathfield dishonestly based his score report on taking "one
tenth" (his words) of the 50 questions on C at
