I just wanted to say I support you fully and appreciate you showing the muscle behind the mouth.

Thanks for your generous service to christian developers, your graciously tolerant policies and swift policing when appropriate.

May God bless you each richly with CCN and in all of your other endeavors.

P.S. if warsong is still lurking and happens to read this post, I am praying for you still, that you would seek friendship with God personally and be filled with His Holy Spirit.

You guys work hard to maintain order here and keep CCN a place for Christian coders to come and be productive, I'm sure.

Thanks for not banning or otherwise punishing me as well in spite of my harsh rebuttal of warsong's last thread.

Thanks for all your work.

By the way, warn me if/when I'm stepping out of my bounds; I'm not a fan of being in the wrong.

You all rock for Christ, and you are great inspirations in how to best live, work, and especially, how to behave on this forum.

And to a similar note to what Xian_Lee said, many thanks for cutting me slack on this forum, even when I'm not nicest person.

But seriously, mods, thanks for all the work you put in here. I've worked moderator duty elsewhere, and it's not an easy thing to do. My deepest appreciation for you guys.

Haha

Even though I think Xian is joking, I honestly hope we don't get into a habit of correcting each other's spelling\grammar on this forum (unless it's to the point of not understanding it.)

Sorry Lava. I just understood you to give credit to me for what samw3 said, and, while anyone reading the thread would know that I wasn't the one to have said it, I didn't want to be falsely given credit for something. I don't much care if someone's grammar is incorrect so long as the meaning is clear.

No hard feelings?

I totally agree with you on that one, credit should be given where credit is due.

But yeah about the grammar, it's just that I keep seeing people more and more correcting each other on here. I just hate to see it get so bad where the next time I leave a letter out of a word I got everyone on my back, haha.

Try your best when making a post, if you're unsure have someone read it over before posting it. When someone posts something and you have a hard time reading it because of numerous grammatical errors then quote the entire post and make the corrections yourself.

Don't nitpick, that's annoying.

Don't de-rail a thread, that's also annoying.

Hey now, no hating on the English majors! You have at least two of them in your midst (me and steveth45). Obviously, as you guys know, steveth is quite familiar with code, and I know a little bit - and yes, occasionally, HanClinto in a fit of excitement, will show me some code (I must confess, though, object-oriented is beyond me right now).

....But getting back to the topic at hand, cheers to the mods! I appreciate it. I certainly won't miss the banished one's raving run-on sentences.

For what it's worth, code isn't necessarily human-understandable, but that doesn't mean that coders should lack grammar skills. When I took English classes in college, my professors were always impressed with my ability to write well. My code isn't always pretty, but when communicating, it is of utmost importance that there is no way to mistake my meaning because I did a poor job of communicating it.

No offense intended. I was only trying to make fun of myself. And All of this goes to the cheers to the MODS! (The best folks I know)

No offense taken. I was mainly taking your post as an opportunity to point out there are actual English majors here.

I think the aesthetics of code has lead me recently to a greater interest in Python, which is not cluttered with all the {} ; <> -> of C++.

As to the matter of poetry and, hopefully, relating obliquely to the matter of moderation:

The Fall of Lilliput
The Lilliputians dance with glee
As Gulliver finally falls
With eyes alight their laughter rings
And echoes down the halls

The great man looks with broken eyes
And locks his gaze on me
To my horror that he spies
The Lilliput in me

Never Forget to Pray!

"...prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Ghost can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer. Pray for prayer---pray till you can pray; pray to be helped to pray, and give not up praying because you cannot pray, for it is when you think you cannot pray that you are most praying. Sometimes when you have no sort of comfort in your supplications, it is then that your heart---all broken and cast down---is really wrestling and truly prevailing with the Most High."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, from the pamphlet, "Effective Prayer"
