Either it will be legitimate, and people will admit that you were correct, or it'll be useless and people will ridicule you (or, as most have done, simply point out your mistake). 2) Be more courteous to the people whom you're asking for help. 3) Get ignored by the people whom you're asking for help. > IOW, "it's always been that way so it must be good". Way to go! That is of course not what Grant said. The basic idea is, a bunch of experts haven't found a bug, so what are the odds that some random yahoo has done so? Unfortunately, the more you continue to act like a random yahoo the more likely you will be ignored, even if there is a legitimate bug. I look forward to your decision. I'm betting on 3, sadly. --keith -- kkeller-usenet(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information
