I think that this exchange is unfortunate, and inappropriate, for a number of reasons. First, because it's a technically correct response. Java will let you get these values. Really, your only two viable solutions are Java and ActiveX, I think, although you might be able to get this info through the Silverlight runtime too. I'm pretty sure you can't get it from Flash/Flex, though. Second, because when you post a question to a mailing list, you should have an expectation that some answers will be unhelpful to you, or even dismissive of your problem. This is just the nature of mailing lists. This list is much less bad than others in that regard, but not entirely. Finally, you may notice that you tend to get this sort of reaction while other people generally don't. I can't state with certainty why this is, but it does seem to me that you tend to ask quite a few vague and fairly off-topic questions that could often be answered by a quick Google search. Personally, I don't have a problem with that, but you should expect that others might. You might be able to avoid this perception by providing more detail in your questions, or by doing a bit of research before posting them. By telling you this, I'm not trying to discourage your participation on the list. But I would ask that you not respond to people in this way. It's inappropriate and unhelpful (to you, as well as everyone else). Just ignore responses if they bother you.
