Not really.  Most happen to be, but that's only because they're still
in junior high school, and that's not their fault.

As a counterexample, I just now went and asked a Taco Bell drive-thru
operator to help me with my original problem, that of building a recent
EGCS under cygwin.  He snapped his gum a couple times, typed some stuff,
and it's building fine in another window.  A recent libstdc++-v3 from
CVS sources is next on my list (the guys at Arby's volunteered to help
me with that one).

(I'll mention at this point that I'm really, really glad to hear that
the H-* thing is going away.  I still can't manage to get around that.)

Probably.  They do less damage there.  /I/ would do less damage there.

I'm more disturbed that I can't make a offhand self-deprecating wry comment
without offending /somebody/ out there.  Ah, the joy of Internet.  :-)

I actually thought about quoting Einstein's famous, "If I had known, I
would have been a watchmaker," and got as far as typing the first three
words, but then figured that somebody would think that I was trying to
compare myself to Einstein.
