- I recently placed an RTF post on the net titled "Coding Rules/Suggestions".
- Since, as was pointed out to me, this kind of a post tends to be
- confrontational, most respondents have emailed responses rather than posting
- them.
-
- If my posts (or even my email responses) sound confrontational due to their
- terseness, I apologize. This was never my intention.
-
- To explain more fully, my boss asked me to put together a list of NeXT coding
- suggestions. Wishing to come up with the best possible list of suggestions in
- the shortest period of time, I thought to draw on the expertise of the people
- on the net. I also felt that everyone would (or could) benefit from the same,
- even if their own opinion's differ. I don't really care to try and convince
- anyone that my opinion on anything is better. I only wish to offer my opinions
- and explain *why* they are my opinions-- and let each other person do the same.
- Each person can then pick and choose on their own.
-
- I have gotten some very good responses, some of which pointed out some
- oversights in my original document and have been (or will be) incorporated in
- the ongoing revision of the original document.
-
- Upon request, I will NeXTmail anyone a copy of the latest revision of my
- document. Keep in mind, however, that the document reflects my opinions only.
- While I am already indebted to some of you in net-land for opening my eyes to
- certain oversights, most simple differences of opinion will not be reflected in
- my document (i.e., it will contain MY opinions, not YOURS).
-
- This should be a learning experience, and not confrontational. I apologize if
- it at any time sounded (or sounds) confrontational.
