>Walter does not even understand my position. He demonstrates his lack of experience with the wider world of crappy coders. I use mdot and naming conventions and every bit of science-won experience to permit my code to co-exist with the crap. Walter's position is unable to be applied 100% of the time. Mine is. Walter is a bully and those who permit him are cowards.

Mike, there's a more fundamental problem here. I don't necessarily equate different naming conventions with "crappy coders".
Yes, some people are better than others at conventions (and Charlie Schreiner's famous "A cRose by any other cName" FoxTalk article really challenged to re-think some things).

But if you insist on this, I'm going to invoke a cultural reference: in the old Brady Bunch episodes, middle-child Jan went through the "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" phase. I think I'm going to put a nickel in a jar every time you say, "Walter, Walter, Walter". You hit three of them in one paragraph. That's fifteen cents.....care to go for a quarter? (Since you feel we are all cowards, I might as well go ahead and have some fun with it)
