Where on earth are LARTs illegal?!? And how did this come to pass?!?
And as to lusers with a little too much knowledge... yeah, they can be
a problem, and a LART's not always at hand...

won't get much disagreement from me here... but I've seen
COBOL code that was more spaghetti'd out than the worst BASIC I've

BASIC is an OK starting point for someone who's destined to be a good
programmer. Its problem is that it doesn't do enough to weed out the bad
ones, who will then progress furthur into the trade on the false
assumption that they have what it takes. I reference my previous post
about assembly language... ;-D
