What he said was "Actually, the above example is pretty silly", and goes on to argue that you should do the checking inside the withdraw function. I'm sorry, but I find it very irritating when someone who obviously has not paid much attention to what is going on nor shows any interest in finding out what people have thought has the gall to state that it _actually_ is "pretty silly". I don't know why Barry does this, but it's a clear pattern with him: If I suggest something that several people like or applaud, Barry just _has_ to knock it, sometimes with a bad suggestion that confuses a lot of people, apparently just to be contrary. I don't know what this is, but I find it very annoying. #:Erik -- I found no peace in solitude. I found no chaos in catastrophe. -- :wumpscut:
