> Dear James (gonna take it personally this time Frown | :( )

Yes... I have noticed that about certain people... I find that trying to keep it professional seems to be a waste of time, sometimes. Frown | :(

> I can see you going around and ranting at peoples posts,
> mostly ending with "Peace". [...]
> If you have had worked brain before mounth [...] then such a suffix would

("mounth" --> "mouth") All of my posts (should) end with "Peace!". I do not always rant. I counter when someone reacts in a negative way to, or misses something important that I wrote in, the thread. As an example, look at my first message in this thread. If you try REAL HARD, you will see something it in that should have prevented most sane people from reacting in a negative way.

> So, since you are looking for fight, obviously, here you will get one...

Most humans can see that I am not one to beat around the bush. Hence, if I wanted a fight, I would has *asked* for one. The same logic holds for unsolicited responses/flames/etc. in general.

> As long as posts are containg an information they are not a waste of space.

("an" --> "any") And you are correct... But usually, that information *strongly* relates to the topic at hand.

> To turn it into something more than ranting you could stick the URL to

Forgive me for overestimating the abilities of others to perform simple searches themselves. (I tend to overestimate the abilities of lots of people, for that I am sorry.) Here is a link (to a search engine) that should provide more than enough links for anyone.

http://search.iwon.com/commerce/multisearch.jsp?searchfor=obfuscated+code+&alias=%2Falias%2Fsearch

("peoples" --> "people") I never said that it WOULD turn into an OCC. I said that I was concerned about it. People are free to ignore my concerns, I do not force them on anyone.

I did not say "Thou shall NOT turn this thread into an OCC". Most other people know how to ignore an opinion/thought/idea/concern/etc. that they do not agree with. I would suggest anyone out there that cannot, should learn that skill Smile | :) .

> Yeah, I am sure that my post is on topic, [...rant deleted...]

I am glad you are sure. The Heaven's Gate leader ("Doh"?) was sure that he was taking his followers to a mothership behind a comet. But that does not mean that I should agree with him. In the same way, it also means that noone is required to agree with me.

> The "Not all obfuscated code contains braces" is irrelevant - my code has braces

Again, I never said that it did not have braces.

> (re-read my post shall I say...).

Be original.

> If you have nothing to say on the thread just read the next one.

Hmmm... I can see how others did that, too... ("Do as I say, not as I do", eh?)

> You don't have to flame the posts like that all the time just because
> of your concerns.

And others do not need to view my posts an invitation to fence with me, but they do.

> [...]and also use those tips yourself sometimes

Sage advice...

> Take a code and build it with VC++ - then you will be happy?

Not all of the code snippets in the OCCs that I have come across in the past will build under VC++ without some modification. But a nice thought, though.

> Confused | :confused:

Really...? Suspicious | :suss:

> And, finally, peace!

Peace!

BTW: Just in case some people have not re-read my first post on this subject, as I have suggested, there was a "Smile | :) " at the end of the message. Most people take that as a strong hint as to the content. Others... Well, we can see what others sometimes do... Frown | :(


-=- James.
