I don't think there have been "ad-hominem attacks" against you here. You have certainly been criticized and corrected, but you have to expect that, especially on "a technical mailinsg list." You're opinionated, which is fine, and that's accompanied by hyperbole and the absolute certainty that you're right, which is off-putting and diminishes your argument. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
