- [Text of extremely nasty put down of someone who used more parens than were
- strictly speaking necessary deleted. Suffice to say it was way out-of-

- Keep in mind also that there are many versions of C (and C++) out there.
- Some of us have to program in several of them, and NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE THE
- SAME OPERATOR PRECEDENCE.
-
- So, given that I have limited amounts of time in my life, do I (A) memorize
- all the different operator precedences? Or do I (B) just overuse a few
- parens and let the compiler take care of them?
-
- Some of us will answer (A), true, but I answer (B) and let it go at that.

- If your seminar is as insulting as the post you used to promote it, remind
- me to avoid it like the plague.
