Umm, Randy, not to downplay the humor or the valid points in your
soliloquy, but he did say "well-dressed C++ programmers", and everybody
knows (tm) that Real Programmers aren't well-dressed (they also don't use
C++, it's for the wavering who can't decide between C and Java [to
paraphrase]).  Of course, this also depends on your definition of
"well-dressed"...
