in reply to Automatically killing a child

You know, every now and then this happens. You're cruising along, monitoring your various ssh sessions, browsing the web in between bursts of programming, and you come across a subject line such as this.

It's good, every now and then, to be emphatically reminded that we don't quite live in the real world.

    I once, quite innocently, created a method (in another programming language) called KillAllDisabledChildren().

    When I went back to the code a couple of days later I thought "hmmm...." and changed it to something like RemoveAllHiddenSubwindows().
