If you had sincerely intended that, you would not have posted the
article to which I am responding.

But you commonly have that effect.

The FAQ is intended predominantly for readers of the group, and not for
writers to the group.  Without readers, writers are wasting their time.

How often have you posted?  Too often.  You need a real job.

That's remarkably improbable - posting for of the order of a third of a
century before the introduction of programmable computers, to a
newsgroup about a language which is under twenty years old.


>IMNSHO,

That sums up your psychological condition magnificently.  Get it cured.

Jukka at least knows what he wants to say and rarely needs to correct
himself.
