My first thought was Michael (@michael-martin, the CPian) as I'm sure many CPians have been affected by him
Good luck getting everything working again.

It's 10 minutes into the 20th Anniversary of my little sisters death. Technically Melanoma kicked her arse 18:43 hours from now.
Some people, recently have told me I should get over shite and not hold on to stuff for so long. They can suck me big long fat one.
We butted heads like mountain goats and I hated her at times like nothing else but faarrrkkkk me sideways with a Giraffe I miss her unbelievably.
I'm off later today to an Irih Club and will drink myself into a stupor. Poor sad scared to drink poofs, don't want to hear your AA shite, just slit your throats and move on.
I may or may not have been drinking this Saturday night.

We all heal at different rates, old friend. This Dec 19 will be the 39th anniversary of burying my little brother. He was murdered by a drunk driver while on his way from Christmas shopping to church. Christmas has never since been a cause for celebration, but I don't go out boozing in his memory anymore. Each senseless death changes us some, even though the raw pain and rage eventually fade.

I enjoy beer or wine too, except when I have to drive then it's mostly alcohol-free beer.
Enjoy your drink, but be careful

For my own reasons I'll drink one with you tonight.

Neither am I interested in you repeating this sh*t each and every year.
As if it would do something for you to openly weep and groan.

If you read it right it is just a great excuse to go out and get pissed - why we need to know is a little baffling but then some do treat the forum like FB.

Words like "Man up, poofter" qualify you, more disqualify you. Better you would pay more attention to your signature

Because OO is something that is not on the radar of the professional hobbyist. Most common defense that I heard is that they get good enough results without using OO.

Exactly writing procedural & structured programming constructs and wrapping those in classes, rather than fundamental OO.

There is an old saying: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
That's not saying "all teachers are cr@p" - good teachers are worth their weight in gold-pressed latinum - just that most teachers don't have a lot of "real world" experience; they aren't engineers; they aren't particle physicists; they aren't IT professionals. So they don't know the subject - and neither do the people who set the curriculum and exams.
Teach the simplest, so the "whole class" can cope, even those whose technical ability consists of charging an iPhone.
And you get "professionals" who have no idea how to do it for real.

And those who can't teach, teach teachers!
Seriously, I once was asked by a school principal to get certified as an instructor, so he could hire me. I looked into the required classes, and there wasn't one real subject in the whole collection, just a bunch of psychobabble and fluff. Teachers here can't read, write, do simple math, or think logically. Unsurprisingly, neither can the kids they allow to graduate.

And those who can't, can't teach, and can't teach teachers, manage.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
