Taco,

I guess nobody replied to your original post, I know I didn't and I posted a
response to you on this one and you ignored me so what is your point?

I still can't see why you are tying to do what you are doing, and maybe
neither can a lot of other developers either. What is the idea of passing
arguments to the super.init anyway?

I don't think you can meet anyone that chills out more than I do.. But you
can't see that in an email ;-))

See, making assumptions and doing the twisting again, where exactly did I
say I was worried about not getting an answer?
What I was worried about was you fooling around..

Tell me exactly which part of my method of attack does not hold water? I
found a solution to super.init( argumentsCollection = arguments ) a solution
that no one since the last time I started this thread has been able to
solve. Yeah, uh, well I do believe this is what the whole thread has been
about (I should now because I started it), but that went right by you huh
Scott? You didn't get it huh?

Well the word everyone was actually YOU, but I didn't want to make you feel
to bad.. And nobody else took offense by it, so.. Now who's the [profane
word] [profane word] and [profane word]..

It's a problem, in real life you are actually not hat bad, when you don't
talk.
Assuming, twisting and pulling other people in who I did not even mention,
yeah go on.. 
You touched my skillset before I touched yours..

I like how you like the word monkey, because you are a monkey..
Where did the CodeMonkey come into this conversation, creating some
composition are we, or inheritance Scott "is a"?

I never slag CFMX of never, so where did that come from?
I'm a newbie to OO too, although I understood many of the concepts before I
could give it the fancy name Inheritance, encapsulation, or polymorphism -
you don't need to know all those words to know OO.. So what? I hate it when
people are on the list throwing all these fancy words that they know most of
the people don't understand anyway, makes 'm look cool, and we are to help
are we?

Yes, so what, I don't see what it has got to do with anything, is this from
another post again or something? The only person I counteract is you, I have
to otherwise my problem would turn into a giant disaster, ooh sjeesh it just
did (guess I did not counteract you to good, wait it's ignoring that I
should do when it comes to you, forgot)..
I don't expect anyone to answer, and I don't get upset if no one answers, I
might throw the question in the list again, or reformat the question and
throw it in again, or even months later throw it in again, but I don't get
pissed off, I don't understand where all this is coming from? Yeah you piss
me off, but that's about it.

Scott, that's is the most sensible thing you ever said, to be honest, I am
not going to miss you one bit, I never found any help in your posts anyway,
same thing when you talk (I'm not the only one who thinks that either ;-)..

And you still spend 15 minutes on writing this post??

I'm glad you wanted to continue this flamewar, at least now I was able to
say what I wanted to say.

Well I have said all I could say, if you want to take this any further, why
not do it privately?
