I don't think that Dave was saying people shouldn't use "*=" because they might not be smart enough. I think that good developers like Dave recognize error-prone code and avoid it because they accept that they aren't perfect and look for less error-prone alternatives (especially when the less-error-prone alternative is a standard). > My argument on these type of things is always along the lines of "do it > the way it works and performs best and if someone else isn't > smart/good/experienced enough to 'get it' then they should learn more." A purely spaghetti-code app may work (functionallty) and perform better than an OO-alternative, but the OO approach seems to have caught on nicely. There are tradeoffs to be made. -Joe -- Get Glued!
