I have sent this in the morning, about 7 hours ago, it never appeared. Now, I have edited some words to see if the anti-spam was blocking them.

Long ago (almost three decades) I was trying to improve my programming skills, and learned in a book (I think it was written in French): Laws of programming (something such as): 0. There is no bug free software. 1. Every software should be bug free. (Do not remember the number of the following law): ?. Every software should be fool proof. This one was followed by a comment that the programmer should blame himself, not the end user, for problems or events like a crash, for example, so should include tests, tests, tests... I have tried to find these laws searching the internet without success. Cannot recall if they were meant or were like today's M's Laws of Programming, e.g., (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?166822-Murphy-s-laws-for-Programming-Enjoy): -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
