Hey, what?! Why am I in this list?

Lots of people use AIOE, tholen. You're crazy if you think that will
identify individual, separate posters. If AIOE put an IP address into
that header, perhaps, but it doesn't.

What the hell is the matter with you, and why don't you think up your

You, sir, have an attitude problem.

Get your own From line.

Get your attitude adjusted.

Get the hell out of cljp.

Who the hell are Paolo and Paul?

Who are you talking about. It sounds like you think I'm gay. Sorry, so
totally not. If THAT's what you're looking for, you're barking up the
wrong tree.

What is that? You sound like a dog. And act like a dog that wants to
keep following someone around and humping their leg.

In which case:

Beat it, mutt, before I call the pound.

Threats? If I ever see Paul I'll make sure to let him know about them.
Maybe you'll get lucky and he won't press charges. At least now you seem
to have gotten yourself your own handle, Mr. Erwin.

What the **** does that mean, Mr. Erwin?

Who is Paul and why are you obsessed with him, and why do you keep
making these garbled, irrelevant followups to my posts?

If you care enough about performance to have put some effort
into benchmarking various approaches, I'd have thought you'd be
interested in one that seems to be significantly faster and almost
as simple to set up and use. (Probably -- I guess it depends on
how, in your real code, you'll be initializing the set.)

I'm not unsympathetic, though, to a desire to move on once
an acceptable solution has been found. "Just sayin'", maybe.

Oh good -- someone else (two someone elses, between them) supplied
a better explanation than I did of the circumstances in which the
"foreach" syntax can be used. I wanted to mention it in case it
was of interest to Gene but was too lazy to do a proper job of
describing it.

But why should I write code to sort something when SortedSet will
do it for me? Plus, if I output the contents of the set, having it in
sorted order makes more sense.

Remember that I am learning my way around Java. You may already
know how to do it quickly. For me, it would be another thing to find
and figure out. In time, in time.

Micro-optimisation is a nasty sin.

Yeah, yeah .... I guess it just seems strange to me that you went to
all the trouble of writing code to benchmark various approaches --
suggesting that sometimes you *do* engage in micro-optimization --
but are resistant to trying one more approach that (in my tests
anyway) sometimes reduced execution time by almost 50%. Just sayin',
"whatever", .... ?

It should be obvious to you why someone might do that.

The part that I was benchmarking is critical to my program. It
is repeatedly used since it is called for every non-newline character
in a file. Initialising a set of characters does not happen nearly so
often.
