You should follow your own advice.  Pointers do NOT repeat NOT "get
curdled all the time" in such an environment; as I have pointed out
in related postings, I use such a system as my primary UNIX user

Of course, if YOU really do curdle your pointers all the time, we'll
have to take your word for it.
