As I said, I am > perfectly aware that this code can be written *much* better... :-) Marko, I think you have the Right Thing (tm) the problem may be that this pond is too small... especially when folks start telling you what to do or not do. I sense a "Brother in Anarchy" in you and I have what I feel to be a very good advice... go to sourceforge and apply there for some free devel space! Get others to work on it with you... what a HOOT!! Announce it on notable linux portals and see who joins you in the exodus from those who refuse to acknowledge and be responsible for their abusive top-posting pathologies. Feel free to rave and be LARGE about it! I will absolutely delight in it, if you start a movement and make your point heard around the world. The next riots in Red Square will feature some little guy standing up to a tank shouting against the Top Posting running dogs. Protests and demonstrations will erupt everywhere and Sociologists will have new fodder for their groups to angst over. You go, Marko and lead the way carrying the lamp against the darkness of Top Posters everywhere. I'll make the speaking arrangements for you, work your scheduling and T-shirt sales for a very very small percentage of the gross. Can we talk? You'll enjoy working from the comfort of your home and da money is great too! <cackles> I hope you do this thing, Marko. God knows that this world needs some really good chuckles.
