You are being presumptious and apparently naive.  I showed Olins post to
my wife. She laughed and she has never programmed a micro in her life,
and has never heard of a dsPIC.  If the humourous tone of Olins message
was clear to such an "outsider", it's pretty sad that a piclist member
instantly jumps to the wrong conclusions.
