How greedy can you get? just because someone declares you a friend, you go mess with their private stuff typecasting is a normal thing you go around giving birth to (constructing) things without planning to support them you go around killing (deleting) things without remorse you don't feel a bit guilty about overloading an operator you like throwing things around for others to catch instead of handing things to them nicely you're always pointing at others there are always exceptions for any function you perform comments that are normally used to express feelings are used instead to force others from doing their things you're always critical of others' sizes you end your statements with semicolons instead of periods you actually consider lazy evaluation ---------------------------------------------------------- VanCLy@ix.netcom.com
