Is all this nastiness really necessary?  Guy Harris quite reasonably
paraphrased what he read in a CSTR; he also prefaced his comments with
"According to some papers on the C++ language done at Bell...."
If he is in error, it is quite sufficient to correct the mistaken
impression politely.  For alice!brucee to call Guy "as ignorant as
the other people who submit twenty news items a day" is not only
snide, uncalled for and a poor reflection on alice!brucee; it's
also a little peculiar.  Why is he so mad at the world?

Enough.  How about discussing C++ itself?  (At this point, I'm even
getting nostalgic for a good "return(expr)" vs. "return expr" discussion :-).
