I think it's clear to most people that Vasile's comment was a JOKE. From the
relatively short time as a PICList subscriber I have read many comments from
Olin on the subject of good coding and good commenting and recognise his lack
of tolerance for people who do not follow this. This opens him up for such
playful jibes as this.

I have also looked at his work and have no doubt that he puts into practice
the high standards that he preaches.

Now can we all just lighten up and get on with it (or at least move these
comments OT)

Simon.
