I'm partly sympathetic to that point.  Your obviously not sitting in my 
chair and you don't really know what I have and haven't read.  But I'd 
think that after all those previous posts, you'd have the gist that I'm 
pouring over several texts.

I found the entire section, and other other section, and the other 
section, to be largely incomprehensible and I was going to get back to 
rereading them after i gained more fluency with the language.  I want to 
better learn iostreams etc first, then I'll swing back and look at 
namespaces again.  I'm not a single pass compiler :)

Lippman's explanation of namespaces was just outright bizarre and 
frustrating.

Trying to solve the problem of namespace polution by adding a 100,000 
extra keystroke, to me is pointless...but that is another issue.  I have 
to deal with what C++ is, not what I want it to be.

(at least it is not tcl)
