There are two issues here: [1] Complexity/Usability of product - Very subjective. Some will swear by it. Some will condemn it. Cerebrally challenged types like me :-) wont try to master it - we just make sure we get what we need and focus on our work i.e. trading.
[2] Accomplishing whatever you wish to - This one of the best bloody support groups I have seen and I have seen some. So why don't you just state your problem , seek help in resolving it and in the process further yourself along the learning curve? R On 5/28/07, Keith McCombs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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.
