I just realized something this morning. If you go back through my "complaints" here and elsewhere over the years, they fall into two main camps: (1) people who answer someone else's question badly (2) people who are clearly cheating on their homework I have no issue with people asking genuine questions, and have answered many of those over the years (nicely :). I also have no issue with ptople who *answer* properly. But I will not tolerate these two camps. This thread makes that clear. I took someone to task for answering badly. (Turns out they hadn't, but that wasn't clear from their post.) Therefore, you're safe from "my wrath" since you'd only be asking questions and not trying to answer someone else. No promises about Uri though. :) -- Randal L.
