1. Das Svendanya
Thomas,
What's 'Das Svendanya'?
If you think it's a Russian greeting, then your rendition is full of
careless mistakes, on par with your other contributions.
Now, I have not uttered a Russian word since the bastards chased me in
their tanks through the streets of Prague in summer of '68, but I am
pretty sure it's more likely 'Do Svidanya', phonetically something
like 'doh sve-dar-nya'. Literally, it means 'until we see each other
again', a polite Russian way of saying 'see you'.
Please, correct me, if I am wrong. Otherwise feel discouraged.

Jiri,
Why the critical tone? I didnt think there was any 'level' of
programming expertise required to post on the Euphoria site, and
i wouldnt want to see it turn into an "im better then you are"
type of forum.

Al,
I can't care less about the 'level' of programming expertise, high or
low, and I am always prepared to help anybody genuinely struggling.
I am not attacking beginners. I am myself a beginner in several
endeavors because I like trying new things, fresh challenges.
I am attacking obvious sloppiness, refusal to attend to detail, the
traits some of our younger members are clearly exhibiting. These are
quite often combined with unbearably cavalier attitudes. Al, you know
what I mean, we have seen it a lot in recent times: "I have this great
idea, here it is, but it does not work. Please, debug it for me,
because I can't really be bothered reading the bloody manual..."
