Dear Jim,

what are you doing? I somehow have the impression that you
are on the best way to alienate the people in all the
groups you are posting to.

PLEASE

1) stop cross-posting. Your course is taking up enough bandwidth
   (in terms of people time) in one group, posting to:
	comp.lang.c++,comp.lang.smalltalk,comp.object,comp.lang.misc
   is not justified.

2) stop bashing other languages. All of them have their blind
   group of followers - but there are also a lot of people who
   use the best tool for a particular job.

3) please explain the great advantages of C+@. And I would
   recommend to concentrate on something else than the '@' sign.


Cheers,

gunther
