Not meaning to sound defensive, but it wasn't _your_ messages that I was responding to. Your experience is not invalid. When did I say it was? Where did I imply that I have _any_ expertise at all, or "much greater knowledge" than anyone else?
The messages that I was addressing were, in their entirety, these three: [quote] You're right. I just play with the toolbars.. there's so many icons to play with . [end quote] [quote] I hope when I grow up I can be a cool programmer like you, maybe I'll find out what that build menu does soon. [end quote] [quote] Sorry for having an opinion. [end quote] I had not spent the time to re-read the thread to learn that the author of those quotes had in fact made cogent comments before those (and has made more since). I did (and do) not understand how those comments furthered the discussion or indicated any basis for an opinion -- they seemed like noise to me. That's what I said. At 04:07 AM 11/25/2006, Robert L.
