Walter,

It generally seems that in general technical discussions here, you seem to be 180 degrees opposite from the consensus. I'm so happy that someone so great and knowledgable as you allows me to type your name.

But I'm done talking to you. It ain't worth it.

Using the "apps I write" argument only supports my conclusion that your apps are for the most part poorly designed and any other programmer would have a very difficult time trying to debug your code.
