From: Kreeg on 9 Feb 2007 08:54 To be fair, T puts out an impressive volume of nonsense in a lot of different threads. You can't reasonably expect him to keep track of the nonsense that he said in the past in addition to the nonsense that he's currently saying. I mean, come on! ;-) ggroups(a)bigfoot.com wrote: > On Feb 8, 8:49 pm, "topmind" <topm...(a)technologist.com> wrote: > >> ggro...(a)bigfoot.com wrote: > >>> The first thing I will put on record is your convenient omission of >>> your claim >>> about what the OP wrote.

From: Kreeg on 16 Feb 2007 08:44 Actually (according to Wikipedia, at least ;-) ), it looks like a tree is a hierarchy, but a hierarchy is not a tree. DAG and tree are both subclasses, if you will, of hierarchy. To borrow a comparison from elementary school math : hierachy is to rectangle, as tree is to square. Most of the time people (myself included) equate them with the same thing, though. topmind wrote: > On Feb 15, 7:46 pm, "S Perryman" <a...(a)a.net> wrote: >> "topmind" <topm...(a)technologist.com> wrote in message >> >> news:1171563102.133207.152240(a)l53g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... >> >> >> >>> S Perryman wrote: >>>> You apparently have some serious mental defect. >>>> To spell it out to you (in 'according to Google' speak) ... >>>> #1.

He honestly doesn't understand OO and his comments reflect that. Topmind's posts are an act of ignorance, not malice. Jeff Brooks
From: Jeff Brooks on 18 Feb 2007 22:38 Lol, I quoted the wrong text. I should have quoted this: > You a liar because you made a claim that the OP *explicitly mentioned > terms such as "tree" , "classification tree" * . They did not. You deluded > yourself, so you then went into your perennial delusion about OO : > OO = trees. - Steven Perryman Then my quote from google makes sense! Mental note to self, read message before posting next time!) Jeff Brooks Jeff Brooks wrote: >> He cannot construct a cogent argument.

Quote from http://www.isss.org/hierarchy.htm "Hierarchy: in mathematical terms, it is a partially ordered set. In less austere terms, a hierarchy is a collection of parts with ordered asymmetric relationships inside a whole. That is to say, upper levels are above lower levels, and the relationship upwards is asymmetric with the relationships downwards." -- mail1dotstofanetdotdk |
