    SD,

    I've already discussed this with HoneyBee this morning - if you notice Behemoth is added in HB's sig as being part of the club.

    I deleted the thread we discussed it in, as my opening gambit was rather abusive to him and as he agreed to make Behemoth a member of the club I felt it only fair to drop the matter.

    I'm not called Arbiter for nothing....

    PS - Both astute of you to notice and nice of you to take up the case.
    Gentile or Jew,
    O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
    Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you...

    You never mentioned this in the original question (or anywhere in the thread). You can't just go around arbitarily making up rules

    made up rules?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Seeing as this has already been sorted out:

    Ked? How does it feel to be beaten by a 15 year-old who hasn't even got any GCSEs yet?

    I was pretty annoyed when I saw what happened. Personally I think SD came up with the best answer.

    I'd already gone home when this was posted, so I'll apologise now for being a little late.

    SD: thanks for this, it means a lot to me that you went to the trouble of starting a new thread (and even posting a poll) in support of me.

    All: again, It's good of you to support me in this.

    Behemoth, sorry for stealing the glory like that, but I didn't see your earlier post (or didn't understand it).
    Are you going to post another questino HB, or are me and Behemoth the last members of your elite club? What we get for being members?
