Good thought, Scott. I have come to the conclusion that "political-correctness" has even invaded computer science. Ever since classes started to be pushed by teachers, all of these "ideal methods" have taken more power than they should have. It's not that they are bad, but, they are just other methods for some folks to be able to choose. I have so much to say, but so little time. Thank Simon for bringing this theme. jos?
