Hi all,

I think I might be repeating myself a bit, but i would like to express a
subjective conclusion but from a point of an objective observer, so i had to
repeat some bits.

But first, lets start that i'm feeling that we owe to Alejandro, and [t]his
email I'm ansering should be the proof.

Look. People around here i breath, are without second thought the kings of
selfishness.
They really like their a.h and they do their best to put it in comfort. But:

When they are involved on cases that there is no gain for them, they are and
without second thought the kings of justness. This brings the desired balance.
There is a poem, that became a song, and could easily be our national anthem
that says: "Sun of justice, whom we feel"

Now, let's go dive in deep, and keep it short :).

Is there anyone out there, that if we started afresh a libc and the standard,
who believes that mem*() belong to string.h header?

Look, there is this one special thing that can characterize a programmer, and
this is preciseness! Based on that, i really believe that every sane C programmer
in this planet, would be voting for a header like memory.h, because that is the
of their operation. End of story.

Again and to Alex mostly:
Judging from the current glorious! circumstances we live, to ask from old dogd
to make such trycks is unreasonable. This is not a fight that deserves to spend
our valuable energy. End of story. I believe you'll understand. Again, you are
tottally precise. And in my opinion, you can be accused for overheated enthusiasm
or overzealously, but with no way for irresponsibility (quite the contrary!),
and in my opinion you are deserving an apology.

But and to be precise, we all owe to Branden (I can't remember the last time
I met such a crystal logic, and it feels like a gift (thankfully this giant
(mostly useless) thread offered some value :))).

To others: please offer some trust to Alex. He proved (okey he is selfish like
every f atom in this world we know) that is capable to change mind and offer a
way out. But is ridicoulous to ask by him to bow in his knees and loose his
mind. Because it is clear that he believes that he is doing the right thing.
So again give him some space and trust. We all (always) need each other, but
especially those brilliant moments we live. Please don't give the machine the
chance to do even a bit more than it should do. It is obviously fatal if we
give it even a bit of space out of what we can control with confidence.

Many thanks for listening.
