Maybe I'm being modest. :) Actually I've been programming for about 10
years (surely not as long as others on this list) and taught C programming
for 2 of those years. So yes, I can not only read C code, but I spew it
fairly often.
In any event, I suspect your comments aren't entirely directed at my
quip, but rather at the sentiment. Point taken. Perhaps, I'll start taking
a second-look at some of the fine BSD code I've taken for granted all
these years.
