Maybe if I continue the series, I should spend the time to be more even-handed, even if I cover the same points that I personally like about Fan.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808034942220416445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956904987508681406.post-3147431550256976002009-06-13T17:28:04.425-05:002009-06-13T17:28:04.425-05:00My down vote on DZone for your post was entirely b...My down vote on DZone for your post was entirely because I think arguing that one language is better than another by bashing that other language is a very bad way to argue. The fact that I also didn't agree with your reasons is not really the point.karadochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986742745952050273noreply@blogger.com
