Aaaaah my eyes 
No kidding, we had COBOL in uni. Two years in a row and two years in a row I woke up screaming of the nightmares I had the night before the exam. (true story actually  )
So griff, for all my suffering, I still deserve the laptop sleeve no  ?

Now that was a real hit - I didn't saw COBOL for over 15 years...You made my day (or what left of it)!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

My eyes are burning... haven't had to look at COBOL since college...
|

|

I don't understand this. I think that makes me young and lucky.

Brilliant! 
I haven't done/seen COBOL since 1975! It took 200 Hollerith cards to do a 'Hello World' program, and my version generated 152 errors while compiling. The computer center expert that 'owned' the sacred COBOL manual could not identify one thing wrong with my code. That was my first and last attempt to use it, and I've never missed it.

For five years I was a fully paid up COBOL CODE MONKEY, it took me ages to stop using capitals.

Oh, you poor man! That explains so much about the way you turned out...

Very likely true, Steve. A very picky language, COBOL is!

Us olde members remember the days when within 83 seconds of a post with the word "GOTTEN", Chris would be in lamenting death of English As We Know It and telling is to behave.
Now, a series of blasphemous post without BACON shown it's due respect have gone reprimanded. What next? Down votes for Liquid Nitrogen? Banning the use of CListCtrl?
Stop the rot now!

Feel better now? Have you gotten that out of your system? 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

You see? You didn't set GOTTEN right and it might slip through the net!

You missed a few:
Nagy Vilmos wrote: telling is to behave
Should be "telling us to behave".
Nagy Vilmos wrote: lamenting death of
Should be "lamenting the death of".
Nagy Vilmos wrote: have gone reprimanded
Based on the context, that should almost certainly be "un-reprimanded".

I'd GOTTEN the impression that he's close to admitting that he's been wrong all along. (That should have GOTTEN get his attention).
BTW, there are rules for highlighting the word "gotten".
0) You can't highlight or otherwise embellish the word "gotten" unless used within the normal framework of a sentence. Doing so when you merely reference the word (usually contained within quotes) is not proper.
1) Embellishment must must include bold, italics and the big tags at the very minimum.
2) If you're concerned that Chris won't notice the word "gotten" in your message, more garish embellishments of the word "gotten" might be called for, such as direct font size manipulation, and or a color change (for an example refer to my use of the word "gotten" above).
Remember, no itch he can't scratch is worth the webs site it's written on unless everyone's GOTTEN to the same place mentally as far as the rules are concerned.
