An obvious troll, yet you go to suprisingly great lengths to
respond to my post even admitting that you agree with my sentiments.
That is a strange way to treat a troll don't you think?

And here is an excellent reason why you should not be taken seriously.
You've made 2 key blunders and they are:
1) Not reading my post thoroughly (regardless of how you feel
about my being a troll if you are going to respond
to a post you need to read it throughly). If you
read my post thoroughly you would see that I said
nothing about project completion -- I spoke of
inadequacy.
2) Using a flawed argument which has been used a billion
times before. "If XXX is so bad then why are
so many people using it". Yours is a slight,
yet equally overused variation on this cliche.
: P.P.S. I too think C++ has got problems, but with "friends" like this,
: who needs enemies?
Why are you trying to agree with me -- a troll? Hmmmm?
So is your mouth big enough for 2 feet?
I thank you for selflessly sacrificing your dignity by contradicting
yourself and providing the easiest target I've had in months. Now
if you'll kindly claim that you are a C++ advocate, I'm sure you
would make an excellent poster child for the cause.

To help put Ahmed's point home: how many people smoke, drink to the
stage of vomiting, and take heroin?
