More accurately, I'm an advocate of freedom, yours as well as mine.

I appreciate that, and I'm sure we feel very similarly about the importance of individual freedoms. My snark has to do with the fact that I find your comments on political threads to be ideological and uninteresting, which is disappointing as someone who thinks highly of your work (and talks) on programming.

> ideological

It's evidence based, not faith based. Try me!

In contrast, I am not religious any longer because I could not find any evidence of its reality.

> and uninteresting

I can't help with that.

P.S. I'm giving a talk on code generators on Jan 16 at nwcpp.org. Come join in!
