Actually if you re-read I was hypothesising, not claiming on the basis that the data was incomplete and therefore the claims were possibly unsubstantiated.. In fact I put up various DISCLAIMERS saying i knew various things probably weren't the case but that I still wanted to see the data to be sure. In the best of spirits, perhaps you would like to reread my email.

I think you will find they are Theory all the way. You must be confusing me me with Ashley Highfield, he seems to do that sort of thing!

Without having to point out that, medical(?) opinions have nothing to do with views on software. In fact, I find it quite depressing that someone such as yourself, engage in this sort of activity because I had previously thought it was not the way in which business is conducted on this mailing list, as I had anticipated a much more mature attitude from it's users. I don't think at any point I have been unreasonable or offensive in the least, but let me stand corrected if you can show how: - I have been offensive and deserved that comment. - I have written hypothetical figures off as fact. -Tim -- www.dobo.urandom.co.uk ---- If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.
