Having suffered the same fate, but more importantly seen the crippling
effects on others, I must allow that he (Dijkstra) has, or had, a
point. Perhaps I have a "that which did not kill me, made me stronger"
attitude, but "crippling" is not too string a word for some former
colleagues, particularly cobol-74.
