- Tim,
-
- Clarity. No, I vote for obfuscation. It is part of breakin' in the new folks
- to have our own industry jargin. Let's keep confusing them, thereby better
- ensurin' we'll look like gurus.
-
- Actually, it is important we make each item confusing, with a short threshold
- to simple understanding. To an outsider, the balance of knowledge will seem
- formidable, but with a short learning threshold we won't have to be too smart
- ourselves.
-
- Where would 'we' be if programming were simple ... (or was that the original
- goal of MacApp?).
-
- Confused, I never was,
- Perry Gregg
-
- P.S. I really mean 'the antonym of this passage' for those of you who may be
- enraged at this point.
