if you are annoyed then take a shower and perhaps you will get a more fresh 
look on some things you consider annoying now.

i think your piece of code is a paraphrase to the well known "main loop in 
windows(R)" parody. but your code has not impressed me.

may i ask a question: why have you created the object you refer by 
varriable "jan" to. am i not existent ? you do not have to create me. i am 
here, at this place. i am like that numeric list in my example in the 
beginning. like that list, i am irreproducible, unique. so the only way of to 
use ME is to send messages to ME, not to some other object you have created. 
that's not me, it can't be. i am not an instance of some AnnoyanceWithNoPoint.

i hope you better understand the idea behind the discussion i have started...
