I was referring to the posters in this newsgroup who were
*in fact* blaming the PL. So far as we have seen here, they
aren't doing anything about the problem, other than urging
solutions that don't work.

I will repeat one more time: No "safe" PL can possibly
compensate for programmers not knowing what they are doing.
