Now we're getting somewhere. You're telling me I should make assumptions
about your competence based on your experience. Well, I agree! Thank you for
arguing my point. Perhaps you'll remember that before passing judgment on my
competence without knowing anything about /me/ as well.

Nope. Neither did I. TF is 25, however, so if he has 20 years of programming
experience, that's one impressive kid. But, Mozart...

Who said I was interested in respect? Only a fool taps a dry well. Don't
internalize my intentions; I don't want what you want, nor would I care if I
had it. My intentions are to be part of a community of interest and help
others get better if I can. I walk into a room, try and help by
demonstrating a concept with C code, and get ripped apart (not your
critique, Warp, that was very helpful and added to the conversation) for
doing so, gaining all sorts of personal attacks. And now you think I'm naive
enough to expect /respect/?

It really shocks me how "logical" people are so driven by emotion. Shocks
and entertains.
