I have done a lot of C programming, mainly implementing languages, amongst them Erlang. So, yes, I know of C's undefined behaviour, but that doesn't mean I approve of it and wish to see undefined behaviour in other languages. Those most likely to get hit by it are those who can least defend themselves.

P.S. I tend to avoid calling myself "the Great" as it seems a little pretentious, which I am not, and tends to put people off. Also there is the discussion whether it should be "the Great Robert Virding" or "Robert Virding the Great". You favour the first?
