RE: Time to get serious

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh my, Dave <wiping tears>.  I haven't laughed this loud in a while.

But let's do something, shall we?  Let's you and I sit down and write an
MRP generation.  I'll use RPG, you use the super powerful language of
your choice.  Mine will be done faster, run quicker and have more
features than yours, guaranteed, or I'll publicly get on this list and
apologize.

But until then you're just trolling, dude.  And that being the case,
don't expect any more responses from me until you either take me up on
my challenge or at least explain what language is better for
navigational database access and why, rather than taking unfounded
potshots at RPG.

P.S. "Not regarded in well rounded IT circles"?  Oh no!  Not the well
rounded IT circles!  <giggling profusely>
