I'm merely an acolyte, for cripe's sake: why on earth are you taking anything I say so seriously?

Because XP doesnt mean anything. TimToady is "just" an abbot. We listened to him before he was even an acolyte, when he was an acolyte and afterwards.

Anyway, I dont know how the AM got the wrong side of the points you were making, but they sounded to me like there was some truth in what you say. Especially as "switch" in C only handles integers.
