An apology to Mr Paul Hsieh

[Richard Heathfield]

My recent replies to Paul Hsieh have been unnecessarily inflammatory. His
views on C do not even remotely coincide with my own, but nevertheless I
should have taken the effort to reply civilly to his points, or refrained
from replying at all. Mr Hsieh, I apologise to you and to any comp.lang.c
subscribers who feel, as I now do, that I over-reacted to your articles.

And in our next episode: Will Brad dump Jennifer? And who's the
father of Kate's baby? Also, will Tiffany be able to convince Justin
that only losers use drugs, before it's too late? Tune in next week to
comp.lang.c!

Bravo! Bravo!

Of course, you all know that the only reason he posted this was an
attempt to wheedle Gotham into making a fool of himself by "apologizing"
to Thompson. Crafty, but very, very sleazy.

Ah, don't listen to him. I think this is a first on CLC, and I hope it
presages future conduct here. In the way of ego programmers are right
up there with movie stars and for an apology like this to appear, well,
it shows character - something sadly lacking around here at times.

Jennifer and Kate won't be reading this, which may contribute to the reasons
that one occasionally flies off the handle in clc: it's a sausage party. I
get more solid laughs per unit time reading Heathfield than anyone on
usenet. EC

Well there is only one possible response to that:

Specifically at time indexes 2:40, 3:34 and 4:03.

Nothing beats 5:04!

I could only think of Keith Thompson during that bit. ;-)
