Dependence on Programming Experts

[Stephen Barncard]

Dude - you are SO wrong about Jacque -- she's the most tactful and 
the most helpful of all of us here. There was NOTHING in her response 
that wasn't both gentle and professional, and was not personal. And 
your logic makes no sense to me.

You want it easy? Then just learn some programming terms and stop 
asking for massive changes in the language that aren't going to 
happen. Many references here are universal among languages and there 
isn't any other way (EXCEPT A DUMB WAY) to make it like you think you 
want.


  I've never heard anyone complain about the TERMS before.. If you 
brand yourself as an intelligent person, then please stop complaining 
about this. You can't have it both ways.

Perhaps YOU should get a check on your email skills, re-read all the 
responses and stop being a victim. She won't tell you, but I will. 
And hire somebody to make your programs for you  - with your attitude 
you'll never get it done.
