Re: parsing .class file and .exe file

You're taking a rather arrogant approach aren't you?

You claim to be speaking for yourself *AND* the majority of subscribers for
this list. Did you actually consult the majority of subscribers? Or are you
just *assuming* they share your views? Because you didn't consult me and you
are not expressing my views either.

While posts can occasionally be a waste of time, I think the right approach
is to reply to any post that isn't outright spam with a polite reply. It
doesn't need to be lengthy. Not everyone is going to ask an "interesting"
question but I think everyone deserves basic courtesy. We were all beginners
once and we have all been helped into the correct path at some point by
people who knew more about something than we did. If experienced people had
simply given the cold shoulder to everyone who knew less than they did, none
of us would know as much as we now do, including you.

Naturally, you are free to ignore this suggestion but please don't presume
to speak for others, let alone a majority of others, unless you have
actually consulted those you claim to speak for.
