Well, technical problem anyway.

No, actually you are exhibiting several behaviors that are well ahead of that. 1. Confusing an alt.* news group with a vendor support news group 2. Making dunderheaded assumptions about your audience, most of whom you know nothing about. 3. Attempting to rank real or imagined behavior against other behaviors that you don't have a clue about. I suspect that there are dozens of readers here who have seen software atrocities beyond your worst imaginings. >because you declared that I am the only one experiencing the >problem, Read it agin, Sam. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
