This is AWESOME !!!

Mats : just let us know when you write a programming-related book, I'm
definitely looking forward to reading you :)
That said, it seems to be the best and the most universal advice I've ever seen.

(maybe you should consider writing medical books someday, too)

Thank you, nevertheless, for asking and answering this question. It's
a fact that we often apply rules without actually wondering why we do
it that way.

OK, I'm trying to stop laughing hysterically...
(it's hard, though...)

Sorry for this short useless post. I just couldn't help notice it.
Thanks,
Valentin Villenave.
