RE: Poor Code presentation

And his examples being all in Cobol or CL (no rpg) needed some work.

We had a gentleman speak at our user group meeting last night about Code.

1)  He showed up an hour late.  Got lost and never took advantage of the
cell phone and pager numbers given him.

2)  Had so many errors in his presentation that were destructive at best.
Like - did you know they dropped the Project Organizer in V5R1?  Could have
fooled me.  I've not been using any release except V5R1 and I see it there.
Found out he had trouble getting it working in V5R1 so he assumed they
dropped it.  (The epitome of defining assume.)
a)  He never ran the verifier - says he always compiles didn't know
anything about how it worked - like file definitions, etc.

People started walking out like lemmings.  Granted many of them came from a
distance and wanted to get home.
