In the sense that it is the way it is only because Guido kept it the way it is, but he did so without acknowledging that your argument or anyone else's argument was in the least bit pursuasive to him. >I am annoyed by the disinformation and slander ('anti-newbie') repeated >indefinitely by some case-folding advocates.
