Now the question how it is possible that 4 smart guys cannot understand the modules system to the point that they can explain it. I think that this was the reason of the failure of the modules.
- No - I don't agree, Modules isn't that hard to understand. But you
need to TRY.
Please don't fall for this--it is what is elsewhere known as a "Usenet troll". Don't mistake his posts for genuine arguments.

You can argue with these people till you drop dead, it won't matter. I won't even bother with the so-called "factual arguments" he makes. They have been answered here before, he ignored the answers then and he will ignore them again.
If you recall, he took on the role as Official Machiavellian Critic of the module system the moment the other proposal from Joseph P.--his friend--was turned down by this community. You can go back in the archives to verify this. Ever since then, he has had this as a personal mission. In the beginning I didn't realize the personal connection and so I fell for it too. You'd wish he'd get over it.
He is determined to sow spite into the Squeak community; comes on the list every couple of months and tells everyone to go to hell; once it was because the list was a chat room, then it was "everyone stop talking and do it". Like when he said he would become a harvester, did it once (there had to be patches released afterwards to fix the worst mistakes in there) and then quit. That's "stop talking and do something" applied to onself, indeed. Then he slagged everyone off for not writing unit tests for all the code they post; on the rare instance when he posts something himself there aren't always tests with the code, same thing again. I also recall how he flamed another French guy who made his first post on the list.
Check all of these in the archives if you don't believe me.
Stef, if you are so busy working for your rent as you always excuse yourself, then why don't you also spare use these flaming posts? Surely they take time too to write. They don't exactly help Squeak. As in "stop talking and do something".
