Saying it 'sucks' without reasons is no valid statement.

Dunno what you are talking about. set merging would be a very easy task, (it is a 4 line algorithm which needs O(n*n) time). > P.S.: I think that the next time I hear a totally idiotic argument > justified by some irrational statement about lines of code I will just > reformat my last lunix box with Plan 9 and forget all this idioticy.

I noticed this poor pseudo-argumentation mechanism in your posts very frequently (also in IRC). Regards, -- Anselm R.
