You mean your veiled insult at the poster regarding the poster's native language? I agree.

There's an implication here that the poster is unable to write working software. This is obviously false.


No, i was fascinated that he could write working software using a non-spoken language, yet couldn't construct proper sentences with a native spoken language. My honest congrats to him weren't sarcastic. I have known people who could barely speak at all but were amazing at electronics repair (for instance). My mother memorised vast amounts of data for an advanced college degree when i was in high school, yet her writing was on par with 8th grade, and i edited all her homework for her.

Considering how much my words are screwed up passing thru other people's language filters, perhaps i should never post any followups to any initial post i make here.

useless
