Not at all! Sorry if I gave you that impression. Ok, there was a bit
of humor, but, well, take it easy. Rember Jim calling Sussman on the
phone only to be
redirected to voicemail? I think this kind of jokes are accettable in
a heated technical discussion and no one should get offended for
those.

Anyway, mine wasn't only a joke. I used to be a C programmer so I have
the bad habit to condense too much information in one line. Sorry for
that.  If you want I can expand on it and explain my case.
Unfortunately I think I've already abused enough this list, so feel
free to contact me privately if you want to continue this discussion
with me.

Regards,
Michele
