Some language comparison posts are appropriate, though I wish people making the comparisons had at least minimal familiarity with the languages being compared. Right now I just manually delete most junk postings. I find it sad that a lot of people who used to post in years past (S.Barbey, M. Kempe, and Rob Nebbe immediately come to mind) seem to have left. I for one learned much from their postings. Hopefully you won't join them. -- Brian On 18 Sep 1997, Robert Dewar wrote: > Am I the only one who feels that CLA seems taken over by cross-posted > junk language wars? > > I am about to decide that CLA is no longer worth following, but if other > people feel that these kinds of threads are reasonable, fine. > > Robert Dewar > > >
