Guy Harris quite reasonably paraphrased what he read in a CSTR; he also prefaced his comments with "According to some papers on the C++ language done at Bell...." If he is in error, it is quite sufficient to correct the mistaken impression politely. For alice!brucee to call Guy "as ignorant as the other people who submit twenty news items a day" is not only snide, uncalled for and a poor reflection on alice!brucee; it's also a little peculiar. Why is he so mad at the world? Enough. How about discussing C++ itself? (At this point, I'm even getting nostalgic for a good "return(expr)" vs. "return expr" discussion :-).
