Hilarious!

BTW, I am certain "thunk" goes out of his way to make his writing obtuse. I read some of his earlier non-boid/non-ruid posts to this list; they made sense and had (for the most part) proper syntax and grammar.

Methinks thunk likes his odd reputation. And we're just feeding it.

how many programmers get to "invent" a whole new way to get a job
done, get to be run out of town by his peers?

its the stuff of legends!



ps there was a thunk in the Icelandic sagas - he was a hero for taking
hard blows to his head and living to laugh about them, not sure what
happened to the guys he fought, they did not get recorded in the
legends.

There's also a Thunk in "Heroics for Beginners" by John Moore. He was
used as comic relief.

Just sayin....

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.

and who are the beginners?

thunk was writing code generators before many of you were born,

his dad used to say things like that, and thunk hated it, but its
still true.

I agree and I feel a little bit guilty about it, however we had some
fun, what's soo bad about this. Thunk is not just a normal troll she
is a troll of a higher level, a meta troll, that should gain her some
respect after all. And she reacted quite well to what might have been
taken badely by lots of others, my respect for that too. But I agree a
troll she remains and I will stop feeding her now *promised*.
BTW.
Complimenti Andrea!
