As for what I wrote, it was meant as a semi-joke (note the winkey!), just to point out in (hopefully) a humorous way that some have begun programming quite early in their life. I realise now it kind of made me look like a grumpy old man who didn't feel he was recognised enough. That wasn't my purpose (hey, I'm only 29, with the social skills of closed oyster, so I may sound quite differently from what I mean). Anyway, if my remarks were in any way out of place, I apologise. I wasn't meaning to sound pretentious. Apparently I failed :( . -- Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
