Kaare,

I would never really flame on a list like this. And I
personally prefer scripts wherever possible. Sometimes I
can't resist to write some humor - just that my kind of humor
is a little hard to understand. But real programmers don't
care if other human's understand them as long as their
computers do. But even then, they have a programming problem,
and totally don't care any more about human's and their
communication problems.

#define SCRIPT_WRITING "modern form of quiche eating"
#define PROGRAMMING (((READABILITY_OF_WRITTEN_CODING <= 0 && \
ABLE_TO_WRITE_FORTRAN_STYLE_IN_C > 4) || \
USES_GOTO_EXCESSIVELY) ? TRUE : FALSE)
