Once again, I fully understand. Your suggestion will only work in an
"ideal world" situation though. Realistically, we don't all live in a
cave - we interact with some many things ever day. Nobody is 100%
untainted!.

What should be interesting, is to do a poll here and in the lazarus
mailing list. Who owns or has access to a copy of Delphi or Kylix?
Probably 90+% of the developers here.

On a side note:
----------------------
Now not to raise any alarms or point fingers, but I know for a fact
that the person that wrote ALL the FPC documentation still works to
this day with Delphi. Oops - talk about tainted! ;-)  [see what I
mean]
