I am intentionally avoiding fliptops remarks on the ground that i fear if I reference 'engineer' too close to 'software' I will be obliged to complain about the Harry Potter Syndrome namely that now that Harry Potter is off in school - will he come out as a traditional warlock - or will he become a 'warlock engineer' , and/or become obliged to be a member of a professional 'warlock engineering association' as a part of the carRear development path. { not that I consider this a religious issue..... } but fliptop is also following down the expected line of 'best practices' and the general principles of good coding... which I support as part and parcel of beginner's mailing lists. I think what I am looking for is the function let f(x) be a boolean function that establishes whether or not topic x is a matter of 'religion' more than of 'best practices' and/or 'principle' and/or let g(x) be a function that returns the delta of x as a religious matter from principle, as opposed to the core component of x that is still within the scope of best practice .... eg: my ($delta_oh_x, @list_of_canon ) = g(x); such that we would do say my ($delta_oh_x, @list_of_canon ) = g(x) unless(f(x)); hence we could sort order all of the questionable bits.... ciao drieux --- for the apostate - 'canon' - with only one 'n' is the technical term deriving from greek denoting a bar or the measuring rod - hence - that which is 'canonical' .... 'true cannon' - with two 'n' in it - be, well, a rude way of denoting that the defense of the faith may be with artillery.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
