No big deal.  You said, "I don't understand how folks can come to such
conclusions in such a void," as if we were handing Mike some tablets from
the mountain.  I was pointing out that we were just offering advice.

Well frankly, our advice was valid: *NEW on top-level programs, *CALLER on
others.  Show me where that's a BAD thing, and maybe I'll be more amenable
to your comment.

Sure, a full analysis is the right way to do things, but there's nothing
intrinsically wrong with rule of thumb advice when presented that way.  You
just sort of implied that we were being bad little programmers by
commenting.  It's all about the phrase "I don't understand how...".

No biggie.  It was just a "tone" thing; they crop up on a text-based list
from time to time.
