While I am wary of feeding obvious trolls, your imagination is 
impressive when trying to find ways to insult or ridicule people, but 
correspondingly lacking about what people might actually think.  Has it 
never occurred to you that I might honestly /like/ undefined behaviour 
in C, and think it is a good thing - at least for people who understand 
it and its implications, and are able to code accordingly?

Please don't judge others by your own poor standards.
