I know this is a troll, but I'm going to bite anyway.

John,
This is 2002. If you were programming java for 10 years, that means
you started in 1992. 

If you were really a longterm java programmer you'd know when java
was released to the public, and that anything near 1992 is pure
fantasy.. but I suspect from your mail that you might just have
been still in nappies then.

Are you by any chance also known as BOD ?
