Is there a sale on straw dummies? Skip is rebutting a statement that I
never made. What I *actually* wrote was "No and no. PUSH is one letter
shorter. Comprehension depends on what you are trying to do; QUEUE is
a bear if you need FILO behavior. Don't confuse what is easier in one
program for a general rule..", in response to his "QUEUE is easier to
write and comprehend."
You have to carve the bird at the joints. Skips rejoinder makes no
sense as a response to what I wrote, and completely disregards the
"depends on what you are trying to do".
