Everybody has their blind spots, you included. No need to be insulted.

DJ, I have been working with computers a lot longer than you (I was getting paid to do compiler maintenance when you were a small child), and I believe I have much wider experience with them than you. I use the term "refactoring" in the sense that other computer professionals I have known use it. Apparently it means something different to you. I don't care. As an old Multics user, I agree with Stephan: I want results in the Unix style, not in the Multics style.
