And maybe that's > what's happening right now? We can observe the phenomena of raised warnings for various particular issues in programming. I am very fine with warnings and learn out of it. What I don't agree easily is sometimes how those warnings are formulated as there is usually deeper truthful meaning that could not express by poster clearly in the email. Sometimes warnings are in a wrong context. Whatever it may be, one thing is sure, there must be some truth there as warnings are given by experienced people. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
