   Since you insist on having these little tirades in public, I will
   continue to answer them here.  But I do find it ironic that you
   haven't moved your greivances to e-mail.  Certainly C++ is more
   appropriate to comp.lang.pascal than this crap.  My apologies to the
   rest of you.

  While possibly true the letters 'C', '+', and '+' did not appear
  in succession in the single paragraph I trimmed from the original
  article to conserve bandwidth, Duncan was asking how C++
  implemented default construction.  I don't generally work under
  the assumption that the other readers in the group 
  are similarly context impaired.

  There most certainly is.  And it's quite apparent on which side of
  the standard you reside.
  
  Pascal programmers are to the individual
  much more civilized, polite, well mannered, respectful, and
  tolerant than their 'C' counterparts.  One's language of choice
  speaks volumes about their temperment. Now crawl back into your 
  Bourne shell where you belong.

  Let's get one thing straight, pal:  *I* have never chastized you
  for posting inappropriately.  That's a practice I gave up long
  ago when I ceased to be an internet newbie.

  My entire response is included above.  Could you please point to
  me in no unclear terms which word you consider to be an expletive?
  Or do you consider anything having to do with the human excretory
  system inherently disgusting? 

>Thanks once again for verifying my hunch.
  
  So because you were spanked on another newsgroup for providing
  information that you considered relevant, you came over to
  comp.lang.pascal and took your frustrations out on those meek
  little Pascal programmers.  Do us a favor and don't have children.
