I'm with you on this one Mike, that list is full of holier than thou types that spend 100x the time preaching (translation: Ripping him a new anus) to some poor newbie that had the adacity to ask what I considered to be a perfectly rational question than they actually spend doing any question resolution. It also appears they hate ansi-C with a passion, only blessing the M$ methodology even when I know its broken, often by scope related problems the last time I looked, but I'll have to admit the last time was several, years, as in nearly a decade, back up the log. I asked a question too, was told to buzz off. I lurked for a week hoping to detect some sanity, didn't, and I did burn several bridges as I unsubscribed. >-- > Les Mikesell > lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
