A question I have often asked myself ... I've yet to find the definitive 
answer.

I don't know how long you've been involved in software development but 
this attitude of smug self satisfied pomposity pervades the software 
industry like a nasty smell.

This group is particularly well endowed with smart arses. It's 
interesting to note that certain individuals who post here and in other 
groups only exhibit the worst of their arrogance in c.l.j.p. They would 
be given short shrift if they tried any of their nonsense in other 
groups. They are basically bullies and we know that the only way to deal 
with a bully is to stand up to them as they are also mostly cowards.

Ho hum, it all adds to the rich tapestry of life I suppose

I gave up on IRC a long time ago, if you want to discuss Java stuff go 
ahead, ignore the twats, there are helpful people here it's just that 
they sometimes get drowned out by the noise.
