Rainer Weikusat, since your discussion style is insulting and since you are
spreading lies like the above about me, I'm out of this. I did a google
search on you and it seems that this behaviour when challenged is typical
for you, so there is little further I'm willing to do.

Always a nice quote in this respect:

A program is a sort of publication. It's meant to be read by
the programmer, another programmer (perhaps yourself a few
days, weeks or years later), and lastly a machine. The
machine doesn't care how pretty the program is - if the
program compiles, the machine's happy - but people do, and
they should.

Another thing that doesn't even address anything in the posting you are
answering to. While nothing in an of itself in this quote is IMHO wrong,
nobody (well, at least not I) ever asked the question whether the
discussed change should be made or not for reasons of clarity, this was a
mere discussion about whether a statement was necessary. Nothing new in
your arguing style, bashing people with unrelated statements...

I was interested in opinions and in both learning and teaching something,
but this is leading nowhere.
