Why anyone would believe your rantings especially directed to the individual Robert Dewar, puts discredit on all NYU academic and administrative staff. Personally I've never met Robert Dewar nor have I been in close enough proximity to smell his flesh. The question begs perhaps your strange congnitive reasoning could be as a result of close proximity to "mutant pigs" . When I was a student both in High School and university I was required to buy textbook written by staff, and generally the material was 2nd rate and expensive. I'm sure the staff would have assured us that we too would be disadvantaged if we didn't buy their material. dlv@bwalk.dm.com (Dr. Dimitri Vulis) wrote: >>Several articles have already politely requested that the thread "Hungarian >>notation" be excluded from: >> >>comp.lang.eiffel >>comp.lang.modula2 >>comp.lang.modula3 >> >>What is remarkable is how selfish (and disrespectful of others) the >>propagators of the thread are in ignoring such requests. >ADA contractors are the peasants of the computing landscape. >>Such notorious posters as Robert Dewar, NYU academic and Ada compiler >>vendor, among others, rank right up there in forcing their irrelevant and >>queer opinions on more than three usenet groups, namely seven, which is the >>height of rudeness and bad manners. >I concur, with one correction.
