There are few ways one can insult me, since I am well aware of the debating
nature and purpose of Usenet. But mispelling my name is one of them.

Asking Amiga programmers to immediately stop putting data in code hunks is like
asking Unix programmers to always free all their memory before exiting a
program. In both cases, programmers know that they will never be prevented
from doing what they do, and in both cases they are right.

Now guys, don't try to convice me otherwise because I already agree with you.
It's just that I can't do anything about it.
