     I do not name my variables the way some think I should.  I do not
use exceptions the way some others think I should.  And on and on.

     There have been some very good posts which I have appreciated.
There have been others which were nitpicky and antagonistic.

     Well, no, they are not.  I had a problem with StringBuilder
comparison with a string.  I STWed and found a discussion that was
originally posted here.  Roedy was involved in that discussion.

     It is horribly verbose.  Java: COBOL++?
