I do not like the current ``discussion'' between Bertrand Meyer and
Bjarne Stroustrup.  I think it was wrong to start it, and I think it
is inappropriate for this news group.

In particular, I think other people should refrain from commenting as
no unbiased account for the actual circumstances is available.

It is my hope that Bertrand Meyer and Bjarne Stroustrup will be able to
bury the axe sometime in the future, so that they can benefit from
each other's contributions to programming language design.  So will
the rest of us.
