SHAME ON YOU DAVE CIGNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and anyone else who has contributed to the DJGPP vs Borland C++
flame-war )

I have been on this mailing list for just over a week, and 
at least 10-15 percent of the messages I get are about
people who can't seem to understand that maybe, just 
maybe, there is no "perfect compiler".  

If you don't like BC++, fine.  If you don't like DJGPP, fine.
I honestly don't care.  It is not anybody's responsibiltiy 
to make sure that others are using their compiler of 
choice.  Use what you like, and if you still need to 
bicker about which compiler is best, start your own 
damn mailing list, or visit comp.lang.c.  

I'm sure a lot of people have left this list because they get
90 messages a day, and half are flames.  I'm sure
a lot of these people could have helped me, you, and 
everybody else on the list if we took the time to listen 
to what they say.  

If I want to listen to a pointless argument, I'll tune in to
Howard Stern.  

'Nuf said.
