I don't think there's any reason to be snide.

I do not agree with him (or you) on a particular technical issue -- whether particular expressions should be stuffed into string literals in order to recover from exceptions they raise. There's a tradeoff between readability and granularity and I prefer readability. I am surprised that you are impugning my technical abilities (manager, not programmer) or calling me arrogant because I don't agree. I think I am should be entitled to my wrong opinion. Jeremy
