I agree it is an overall loss. Mr. Ashland sometimes came across as arrogant. But when he stayed "on target" and not "off topic", his posts were very informative. Even the ones containing words that I had to Google to understand. I simply accepted this "fault" of his. I have too many faults of my own to be critical of faults of others. Except politicians, of course. Oh, and Windows bigots (nothing pisses off this enlightened mainframe bigot like a ignorant Windows bigot <grin/>).
