I think perhaps Uri is channeling the old tech meetings, where the main portion of the gathering was in-depth code review, including traps and common syntax.

While making recommendations on style can be useful, particularly in the cases where it can reduce the possibility of bugs, I would agree that approaching the main request of the poster first might be more appropriate. -- Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
