Richard wrote two long, well reasoned paragraphs on
the merit of epic, and as always, you just simpled ignored
them and claim people are throwing mud.

Fisher and his school of people may have written the
holy scrolls on epic and complier optimizations, but
the rest of world have moved on. do you having anything
to say about the TECHINCAL MERIT of epic in this day
and age? anything at all?

we're all ears..
