Interesting.

Exactly what did you use to decide that I have 'contempt for dinos'? Or 
is it that you think I fear dinos?

You seem to have some issues with pre-judgement, but that is beyond the 
scope of this newsgroup.

FWIW - I've been writing mainframe assembler since the early 80s and 
have spent the last 15 years in a mainframe shop, writing mostly Cobol 
and Assembler code -- some would say that qualifies me as a 'dino'.
