I don't know about the original post because I don't recollect reading it. > This seems like a rather emotional response to my SORT function for arrays. When I wrote SORT in 2010 it seemed pretty simple and obvious. I did not expect to get attacked for it, for four years now, and I most likely forever. Yes it is rather tiresome the way it goes on and on, both sides have made their point and should just let it die. > Maybe Cecil is the smart one --- keep all Forth code to yourself! --- Well people who take and don't contribute usually don't command much respect. > if your Forth code is made public, it will be called "green slime" and > "disinformation" and you will be called "stupid" and "insane." That is a good example of disinformation as the post you quoted from didn't call code "green slime" and "disinformation", it said disinformation is like green slime - since when is code disinformation? There has been plenty of Forth code posted on c.l.f that hasn't been dismissed in such a way. There's a world of difference between valid criticism (including suggestions for a better solution) and uninformed hostility. -- Gerry
