    Kaare,

    I  would  never  really  flame  on  a  list  like this. And I
    personally prefer  scripts  wherever  possible.  Sometimes  I
    can't resist to write some humor - just that my kind of humor
    is a little hard to understand.  But real  programmers  don't
    care  if  other  human's  understand  them  as  long as their
    computers do. But even then, they have a programming problem,
    and  totally  don't  care  any  more  about human's and their
    communication problems.

    #define SCRIPT_WRITING "modern form of quiche eating"
    #define PROGRAMMING (((READABILITY_OF_WRITTEN_CODING <= 0 && \
                           ABLE_TO_WRITE_FORTRAN_STYLE_IN_C > 4) || \
