Starting off with "x = 0;" is obscure, or rather misleading. If you do
something for each integer from 1 to 100, you start at 1.  Like I said,
for a half a second I was about to mention you had a bug, the code
calculates FizzBuzz for 0, but that was misleading; you don't.  Looking
like you have a bug is almost as bad as having a bug, at least to the
hiring manager looking for someone who can write good, maintainable,
quality code.

You're talking to a nut-job who thinks that "white space" is bad.  It
makes the code less compact, you see.

Well... it tells them: Michael Glasser is an AppleScript guy. Steve Carroll is all about JavaScript. Marek Novotny is a command line jockey. Branimir Maksimovic is a DownToTheMetal Assembly Language guy. Owl, Fabian and Jeff Relf are c programmers. 

Jeff, why do you insist on using people's real names in your posts?
Are you just trying to be an asshole in addition to being the weirdest
guy on Usenet?

If a guy wants to be known as Melzzz for instance, you might as well
refer to that under that name unless you hate his guts. Do you hate
Melzzzz's guts?

It is an odd habit and a bit rude, but it is NOWHERE near the level of your
name calling... and your referencing me by my location and one of my
business names. THAT is you being an "asshole".

Unless you are a complete and utter hypocrite (which you are) you will refer
to me as "Snit" from now on... if at all. But, as noted, you ARE a complete
and utter hypocrite.
