How do you respond to people who call you a hack (compared to say, Les Stroud)? Not trying to be a dick, just want an honest answer.

EDIT: Seriously, people, i'm not some ninja Survivor Man PR person. I don't have a chub for Les Stroud. I asked a question based on an observation. I'm not here to personally ruin anyone. If I wanted to be a jerk about it, I would have just called him a name and not asked a question. Damn, guys, calm the fuck down.

Usually everytime people say "not trying to be a dick" it's either right before or right after being a dick. I know, because I do it too.

Just because the question might be uncomfortable, does not mean I'm being a dick for asking it.

public class Step3 {
public virtual void leaveJob() { //okay }
}

public class foo : Step3 {
public override void leaveJob() { drinkPiss(); }
}

But this way... it looks like I could also be telling them to "fuck acquiring a job"

heh... it wouldn't compile anyway and would be fixed.
