Why don't you do some research? It's all in the sandbox.
I did, and I proposed an alternative which has some advantages and some disadvantages. If you like i,t please use it, if you don't, don't! I was looking for feedback and constructive criticism, not forcing my approach to anyone.
Sorry for being so blunt, but I haven't seen any criticism on the approach itself.
You got a small criticism regarding the fact that you're brushing off direct initialization as unimportant. For the most part, though, you're right. I haven't criticized your approach. I don't see why that should bother you.
You didn't appear even to take a look at it to see if there is something good about it, and just started defending your approach.
I disagree. I started asking questions about your claims, hoping to understand why you think your approach is an improvement. What kind of a look would you like me to take? I suppose I could try throwing your approach at my tests, which are more thorough... but then, you could do that too.
I Think it was absolutely unwarranted
Seriously? Having looked back through the thread, I don't think I have anything to apologize for here. If you think I stepped out of line somewhere, please be specific about where. Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
