     You speak from both.

     This is a wonderful example of your fanaticism.

     I posted reference to the fanaticism.  You affect not to know
what is being referred to.  Now that the subject has been mentioned by
another, you sure remember fast.

     Maybe, if you were more honest and less fanatical about it, you
could get my argument right.  I do not argue against coding standards.
I argue against being pilloried for using a different convention. What
better way for you to get yet another of your snipes in by misstating
my case yet again?

     Every one of them?  Without exception?  Where do you get your
statistics from?

     Hounding people for using something else is where the fanaticism
comes in.

     What name have I called you (besides Lew)?

     I have written of properties that you have.  You ought to be able
to tell the difference between a name and a property as both concepts
are used in Java (among other programming languages).

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
