You know the old saying: light a man a fire, you keep him warm for one night. light a man on fire, you keep him warm for life. That being said, I really didn't think there was anything one either side to make anyone unhappy. DP has always been a little terse in his replies, but if you can look past a little brusqueness, he's usually fairly helpful. From a disinterested point of view, it looked to me like no one was especially rude, but it was taken that way anyway. That may mean there's a problem on the side of the person offering advice, but it might also (*gasp*) mean there's a problem on the side of the person asking for advice. I'm not actually sure where the communication problem happened in this thread, but I'm also of the opinion that it doesn't much matter. The OP asked for advice, and was given several kinds of advice. If they want to act on any of the advice, or research the problem more carefully, or just decide to hate the people who gave them advice is up to them. We're all grown ups here. Asking me (and when you ask the list, you ask me as a member of the list) to be extra nice to some class of users is frankly insulting. I try to treat everyone as though they are generally clueful, but have perhaps missed something today. I find that much less frustrating for all involved. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | May your camel be as swift as the wind. | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
