- I don't think that being turned off by something is a good
- reason to call for others to avoid it. The recent thread
- about Forth for the 8051 is a topic about which I have
- absolutely no interest. It is, however, an example of
- swapping ideas and helping each other.
-
- I submit that the documenting/adapatability discussions
- perform the same two roles for those engaged in them.
- They are certainly examples of swapping ideas. And they
- have certainly helped me refine my views about these
- issues.
-
- The point of a subject line is to allow you to skip over
- articles on topics that turn you off. I suggest that you do
- that rather than ask the rest of us to conform to your
- preferences.
-
- (And you're right. At the moment I don't have anything better
- to do than flame you over the network. I've got to get a life.)
