Hello Everybody!
Thanks to the great response to my last pot shot at some sacred cows. I
really enjoyed your comments <g>. LOL.
I guess I'll go back to the lurk mode for a while until somebody drags
another pet dogma out for some pot shots.
BTW my mother is a retired English teacher. I have loved language, writing
and playing with words since I was knee high to a short snake. I am also a
nuclear engineer (mechanical) with a master's in environmental policy, NOT a
software engineer!
That brings up another interesting observation: Why is it that "engineer"
brings "programmer" to mind? I won't make any "inflammatory comments" on
this for now.
