The Java vs C++ higher salary thread

[Zjargands]

Can we, as a group, please stop posting to this thread? It has over 100
posts, many of them (most) unrelated to the original question or simply
restatements of what others have already said.

Many of the sub threads have devolved into arguments between 2 or three
people going back and forth with petty arguments that should be resolved
in private e-mail.

A good example would be the "what constitutes an engineer" sub thread.
This topic has nothing to do with c++.

Thank you for your constructive comments and consideration.

Just kill the thread if you don't want to read it.

Just kill the thread if you don't want to read it.

Normally I would agree, but the references and cross-posts have gotten
so tangled that my news reader (gnus) can't figure them all out well
enough to do that. :-(

Please folks, take it to email. Or just let it rest already - you've
each made your points about a dozen times now, and it's obvious to any
sane person that another dozen repetitions isn't going to change
anyone's minds.

Sorry Ian, but he's right. We're being manipulated. I have
nothing against it when a thread drifts off-topic for a little
bit, but this one has become ridiculous.

We're being manipulated.

Please don't speak in riddles.

In what way are you being manipulated?

Who are you being manipulated by?

TIA.

Which is why I've killed it. One keystroke and it's gone!

I wonder why you ask this question.

I asked because I don't know what he meant and because I would like to know.
