I am quite flabbergasted to see what is happening now in the linked GQ thread - it’s turning into a freakshow; **bryanmaguire** : you have _how many_ years of programming experience and you’ve _never_ run across rounding errors on floating point values? _ **never?!?** _😕 BTW, I really think it’s time for you to suck it up and apologise to **OttoDaFe**. ---

Ah, I see…so the new protocol in the world of \*\* bryanmaguire\*\* is: If you ask a question in GQ, and someone offers an answer that isn’t _exactly_ what you’re looking for, you should now start a pit thread cursing them. \*\* Cool!!!\*\* Anyone want to run a search on \*\* bryanmaguire \*\* and start a flame thread for every question he didn’t answer correctly? Hey, **Bryan** , please do me & the rest of the Straight Dope community a favor: **Don’t ever start another thread again**. Thanks!
