   Hmm.  Wonder if this is supposed to be me.  

Nope. I didn't mean anyone personally. It's just been my observation
over the years. (And this is not just an issue w/ "language designers"
- I could replace that with "operating system designers", or "gui
framework designers" etc., and get much the same flavor of what I was
trying to say across. And then we wonder as an industry why computers
are hard to use, and hard to network, maintain, program to do
innovative things etc. :)
