Summary: yes, I agree


  Richard Harter points out that the original work done in the area of
computer methodology was not, in fact, done by "Computer Scientists" but
by the early programmers.  True enough.  MY error.

  Many of the early programmers were, however, very much theorists in
Mathematics.  Some of them were Engineers.

   I believe that my separation of Computer Science and Programming into two
distinct, if slightly over-lapped disciplines remains essentially valid.  I
have been informed that this identifies me as an "inflexible ego maniac."
Oh well.
