I spent about 12 hours responding to people who were screaming that "MM
sux" - I don't think it's very surprising that by 8pm at night I'm just
a little less politic than some people might like... And, hey, I *did*
put a smiley on my comment!

Actually, yes. I'm well known for it! As it says in the bio at the
bottom of my DesDev articles: "He relishes a technical challenge both
inside and outside of work and healthy technical debates." :)
"I came here for an argument."
"No you didn't"
"Yes I did!"

OK, now I'll respond more seriously (and I haven't even had a coffee
yet!):
Rob posted a code fragment under the banner of "Another MX boo boo".
It's good that he posted the code but he didn't say what was wrong or
what result he got. I tested the code fragment and posted the result -
which seemed to be exactly what I would have expected the code to
produce. I asked Rob for more details.
That seems pretty fair to me.
As for the comment about the Subject line - something like "Possible
dateFormat error in MX?" would have been more descriptive (and more
tactful).
