A long time (perhaps 15 years) ago in the UK C User Group (I think before
the days of ACCU) I caused a bit of fuss by writing something along the
lines of:
	"Anyone programming without a revision control system is an
	incompetent amateur."

Ah, the days of flame-wars in Letters-to-the-Editor of CVu :-)  

It does seem to be another of those things that never changes :-(
