I think the point you missed, Karim, was that a function pointer is no big
deal. The fact someone makes out like it was, is sort of silly.
There is no reason for this mailing list to turn into a mud slinging fest
that it has been for the past few weeks. This is supposed to be a
constructive helpful group, not a flaming 'mine is better than yours' debate
group. I'm rather appalled at the juvenile behavior and comments coming out
of here.
I think every developer wants to improve their product, and that is the
point of this list. Arrogance, on anyone's part, is not going to help.
Lets bring this list back on topic.
My feeble attempt at mediating,
Jeff
