  And likewise I know that when you get cornered, you start avoiding the
actual subject by starting a meta-discussion about the "reasons" why you
won't present any more arguments to defend your position. It's not the
first time you have accused me if misinterpreting what you have written
and completely failed to specify exactly how I was mistinterpreting and
what is it that you really meant, even when I specifically asked for a
clarification.

  There is no possible misinterpretation in this thread. You clearly and
unambiguously defend the "using namespace std;" command, and even go so
far as to claim that using it somehow improves maintainability, while I
completely disagree and claim that it's the exact opposite: That abusing
that command decreases maintainability, readability and only introduces
problems (like in this case).

  If you accuse me of misinterpreting what you are saying, then please
explain more clearly what is it that you are saying.
