- Since you guys are asking for copies, I assume you have never seen one before.
- The first standards I posted were stupid. Obviously you guys can't see a
- joke from the real thing. And yet, I get posting from you guys saying I don't
- know what I'm talking about. Wake up everybody.

- Sorry Tom Payne and David Byrne, this is not addressed to you in particular,
- so don't take it personally. There is many out their who are taking the same
- position. I could be wrong. I don't think so. I've worked with 10+
- companies that published coding guidelines and 90% were reasonable and this
- one was stupid. Obviously too many people are prepared to say somebody else
- is wrong when they don't know what they are talking about. I on the other
- hand have been asked by several companies to publish their coding standards.
- I hope I know what I am doing. Or I'm overpaid.
