- I for one would spend less time in the `less advanced' area, but I would
- read and reply from time to time. I don't want to stop helping people,
- but I'd like the chance to help myself, too, with discussions about
- `industrial strength' issues.
-
- Perhaps the answer is not to move the `hello world' help line, but to
- create a different newsgroup for those who want to discuss their
- contravariance and overload in public. comp.lang.c++.here-be-dragons ,
