Please be careful, when following up any article debating Bjarne
Stroustrup's defense of C++, "Widespread C++ Competency Gap", etc.
to remove inappropriate newsgroups from the Newsgroups line.

In particular, don't followup to comp.std.c++.  It was ill-considered
for Dr. Stroustrup to post it to comp.std.c++ in the first place, since
surely he knew it was flamebait and it had no relevance to the
standardization effort.

Followups are directed to comp.lang.c++.
