hummm... I dont think I am an idiot. If I were, don't you think
I'll be the first to know it? after all, I know myself much
more than you do.

But REAL real C/C++ programmers can certinaly write identifiers longer than
6 bytes. I guess you have not looked at any windows code lately or
looked at some of the popular C/C++ in the book stores. Almost all
UseThisTypeOfWritingInTheCode this is one X window function I picked
by random as an example:
XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap()
Are you saying the people who wrote windows and Xwindows stuff and
and MFC and all the rest of it are not real C programmers?
