C++ STruct vs Class

Yikes - that was uncalled for. James apparently deduced VC6, thinking
it the only MSVC++ version in (too-)common use that warns about
mismatched declarations using struct vs class. From your response,
either he was wrong or you picked up the habit earlier and are no
longer using VC6 but retain the habit. No big deal, and nothing
"bitchy" anywhere....

I'd recommend staying out of it unless you really like the taste of your
own feet. Eventually you'll understand what I mean but for now I'd
suggest just not hopping in to Kanze's "defense". He may know a thing
or two about C++ but is NOT particularly capable of reasonably handling
disagreement. You might consider researching his history and taking
note of how many times he tells people they can't be good programmers
just because they don't see it his way.

Having made about a 1000 posts on clc++ and clc++m myself, I've
already read thousands of James' posts, and haven't formed that
conclusion. We've been on different sides of technical issues often
enough, with no evidence of ill will. So, in the advice-giving spirit
you've launched into, let me suggest you consider calling people
bitchy in specific posts when they are being so, rather than reverting
to it on the basis of some general grudge. Fairly or otherwise, the
latter will be seen out of context and can only reflect poorly on you.
