I agree it is bad to send several old messages... I agree I have seen some bad code... However be careful that you yourself don't get looked at as snooty. I have learned to program on my own. When I was a teenager I took computers in high school. I took Basic, Adv. Basic, and Pascal. I feel I learned back then more then I realized. We had to do flow charts but most of the students did not make it in the Adv. Basic and almost all dropped the class when we took Pascal. For years after that I wanted to have a computer. My dad is a minister and was not a radio minister (grin) therefore we did not have much money. My parents did not buy me a computer like one of my friends had. However when I got married I bought my first computer. I had to return my first computer after the first week because I had bought such a cheap one that I had passed it's capability. It had the fonts on a prom chip so I could not create my own fonts to use for a game I wanted to create. Since then I have created a pacman game in basic, Learned Perl for the NT, Played with C and C++. I have the opinion that I first have to make sure that a person can do what they say. Past co-employees have had degrees and been from technical schools have not been the best coders. In fact sometimes they tend to think they know so much they will not listen to experienced programmers. I am not saying that is you. Understand all good programmers in the past were bad ones. That is why I try and help those of them that will at least listen. My 6 cents ( this is more then 2 cents) I hope you understand what I am saying. The school of hard knocks doesn't make a bad programmer instead a hard head unwilling to learn does.
