As far as I know there are mant Delphi Gurus in this list. Al's idea is interesting. Think about that; when you will be dead, an hundred years from now, depending on how much you are obsessed about clean coding, how much of your efforts will be lost forever? Teaching is a wonderful endeavour and teaching Delphi should be funny.
