He had valid points (with regards to computer-science issues), such as his famous "why GOTO is considered evil" piece. He might be loud, but that ain't trolling (history decided that, I think). Unfortunately, the modern-day troll doesn't even make sense, nor valid points for their behavior, when they pull off their stunts. :-( -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Learning to change lanes takes time and patience.
