Xah never replies to the threads he starts. At least, I've never known him to do so. > I still think that analysis of the original post is a useful exercise > to learn Java. Maybe so - I don't know enough Java to comment on that. But there's nothing useful to cross-posting the original to a fistful of non-Java lists. > The more subtle Xah or other > minions of Satan get in their presentations, the more interesting the > forensic exercise to dig out the truth. The truth is that Xah wants to start an argument. He cross-posts for that reason, so that the "forensic exercise" you're speaking of then becomes an argument among proponents of the various languages about which language is closer to the "truth". Don't take my word for it though - check Google Groups. You'll find he's been doing this for a long time. sherm-- -- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
