He is a valued member of the Ant and wider Apache communities and it does your case no good by reacting in such a way to him.

Here is something found by a quick google of the words 'mathematics' and 'set': Bolzano was a philosopher and mathematician of great depth of thought. In 1847 he considered sets with the following definition an embodiment of the idea or concept which we conceive when we regard the arrangement of its parts as a matter of indifference. Additionally, a google of the words 'set' and 'equality' yields such results as http://www.cs.odu.edu/~toida/nerzic/content/set/basics.html : Definition (Equality of sets): Two sets are equal if and only if they have the same elements. More formally, for any sets A and B, A = B if and only if x [ x A x B ] . (ed: mathematics characters lost here) Thus for example {1, 2, 3} = {3, 2, 1} , that is the order of elements does not matter I think these results vindicate Ben's characterization of a set as being unordered by definition.

Fortunately, this idea has enough merit to stand on its own so you will be likely to have it despite your behavior here. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
