Unemployed Underscores
_____________________
Unemployed Underscores is a non-profit organization dedicated to the wellbeing
of underscore characters. Our mission:
- Gather and distribute funds for the education and retraining of underscores whose jobs have been made redundant.
- Provide social and job networking opportunities for underscore characters.
- Advocate for the interests of underscore characters in Washington and in the media.
- Promote the image of underscore characters abroad.
Are you an underscore who has recently been made
redundant? Things can be hard in today's troubling
economic climate. We run reskilling classes specially
for underscores --
train to become a parenthesis! or even an xml tag!

Underscores, not underdogs!
"Underscore rules, not <hr/>"

As a C# leading underscore who generally likes to keep myself to myself, I send my sympathies to my VB brethen. It really is the end of the line for you!
I have some sympathy for you guys but you must admit you were always trailing behind the other characters, keeping a low profile.
You would think that in this time of economic crisis Microsoft would do everything it could to provide new jobs to underscores; not refactor them out of their homes and onto the streets!
As a person that has used underscores, I can sympathize with them. It seems that my fellow punctuation mark is getting the brunt of the blame. After all, it is much easier to use him rather than that <> syntax of markup.. HTML, XML.. EIEIOXML, whatever your flavor.... I yearn for a simpler time when it was just the underscore that broke up our code...
What a pity. I have an underscore friend who is now out of job. He applied to another context recently, I hope he'll get the position.
You got a smile out of me this Friday. Thanks!
I hear there are lots of openings for underscores at the Unit Test Method Naming Convention.
As a current employer of many underscores, I can't help but remember another difficult time in the past when many underscores had to shift their jobs due to changes in our naming convention when we adopted CamelCase. We said goodbye to "tb_First_Name" and hello to "firstNameTextbox". I only hope my underscores will find greener pastures elsewhere now that I no longer have the challenging and enriching environment for their skillset.
wtf
Underscores, take heart! You can find new work as a fluent interface!
C# allows "_" to be a method name. So you can be an extension method like this:
public static WebControl _(this WebControl container, Control control)
{
container.Controls.Add(control);
return container;
}
I have contacted some friends in the Peace Corps, and they're working on starting a new branch called the Unders Corps to help our poor underscore breatheren.
One man's underscore is another man's treasured friend.
