     I do not.  I plonked one person who called my sanity into
question.  As I like to say, disagreeing one thing, but being
disagreeable is quite another.  Snarking on sanity is the latter.

     The attitude of some posters is that they are Keepers of the
Truth.  I suggest that there are different realities.  I have
programmed in quite a few programming languages.  I see no need to
jettison what I have learned, because some practice is different with
Java.  If it is better, I will consider using it.  If it does not meet
my needs, I see no need to use it regardless of what Java practice is.

>Also, refusal to learn harms you.

     I do not refuse to learn, but I know what I want to accomplish
with my program.  A number of the suggestions have been plain
irrelevant.  Some of them have been quite useful, but those subthreads
tend to die, because there is no need for further discussion.  Thus,
discussion tends to continue only on points of contention.  They are
not the only points.  There is more agreement than disagreement, but
you would not know that the way some posters keep coming at me.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
