Examples of ECMAScipt written by Thomas Lahn

[Steve]

Thomas is the forums best known critic of everyone else's attempts at
writing ECMAscript. I was wondering if there is a webspace where we
could look and wonder at Thomas's scripting skills.

too long to respond."

This is not your personal webspace either. Your last ten posts amount to
nothing more than a major winge. That time of the month is it?

The author says himself on the bottom of the page "I mentioned Korpela's
42nd law, and I was asked where the rest are. So I had to invent / write
them down". In other words, they were drawn up in haste. They do not have
the same cohesion as the German usenet laws, which appear to have been
built upon prior entries.

Unfortunately, Google translator looses a bit of the German laws. Is anyone
aware of where we can see them translated by a real German?

 

[David Mark]

Whatever, treating usenet as some sort of competition where you either

Whatever, indeed.

win or lose is not a good idea and therefore Karpela's 16th law makes

Then why did you bother to rebut PointedEars' claim of victory?
Surely your other idol would not approve.

Yes, loser. Apparently it makes sense to you to write to this group
like an obsessed fan. We are all impressed with your knowledge of
Thomas, Usenet "laws", posting statistics, etc. Now take it somewhere

That sir is an insult. And since when do you chat with OT twits?

Perhaps the same person who told you that "Karpela's [sic] 16th law
makes sense to most people". Or did you survey a representative group?

At least one of us doesn't care which set of arbitrary "Usenet Rules"
you prefer. Particularly not if you can't muster a real argument in
support of it.

ROFL...
Lahn's .... is there a cure? I would prescribe Prozac, Lithium, and
electroshock LOL. Aren't you supposed to register with ICANN Internet
offender list if you are diagnosed with this?

Truthfully, its too bad such a brilliant mind is such affected.
