>> I apologize for the confusion. No problem. I have that love/hate relationship with M$, so even though I have some issues with Linux and some issues with Python, I hope that they do well and give M$ more and more competition as time goes by (suddenly I'm thinking of Casablanca). I will say that I like the block delimiters, but don't consider tabs to be delimiters.

Someone already pointed out I was responding to Stephen Russell. He offered a 'situation' where variable naming based on case might be used, citing it may be 'company standard' to do so. That is what prompted me to respond. I believe I'm in complete agreement with you regarding case-sensitivity in source code (and file names in a OS file system). I think it's a 'stupid' standard that should be changed. Delimiters for blocks of code, whether they be braces, 'words' (IF/ENDIF), or tabs are not 'stupid' IMO. The MS-sheep thing is a semi-joke regarding those who love to tote the MS-hype/marketing/vision/blah blah blah. Mr. Russell really loves .Net and reminds us of that frequently. So he is the MS-sheep I'm referring to. I apologize for the confusion. :-) -Charlie ... >At 09:41 AM 9/27/2006 -0500, Stephen the Cook wrote: > >Russell Campbell <> wrote: > > > I don't have to on this subject.
