No, I think everyone got the idea -- it's just that their opinions don't agree with yours. I think the difference was very cogently phrased in the last couple of days (rummage, rummage).. Ah yes, here it is: Dan Minette wrote: > > ...

It may be my imagination, but I get the distinct impression from your posts, Jeroen, that if someone disagrees with you you regard their opinion as invalid and say they're 'not getting it.' It may not be my imagination, though, since Ronn and JDG said similar things yesterday. In any event, I've about concluded that arguing (or even discussing) with you is pointless -- so when we disagree, I'm going to try to leave it at that. :-) -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millenium hand and shrimp!"
