May I make two suggestions:
1. Copy and paste your actual code into your postings. That makes it
easier for others to read, especially if it is in color. And they won't
waste their time dealing with your typos.
2. Stop ranting. If you don't, no one is going to want to read your
posts, let alone respond to them.

Is BarsSince known to be 'buggy' or difficult to use? I saw a number
of threads that had trouble with it.
