So we agree to disagree. Fine.

Different groups of programmers follow different conventions, and there is
no reason why any group of programmers should be forced to follow any
conventions with which they do not agree. I don't care how many people
follow a particular convention - if I think it's bad I will not follow it.
Some people like using Hungarian Notation while others do not. There is no
*universal standard* that everyone *must* follow, and you are arrogant in
your belief that anyone who refuses to follow your ridiculous standards is
an idiot. I prefer to do my own thinking and use standards of my own
choosing. That way I can produce work which is superior to yours.
