That makes 3 people not paying attention and jumping in the middle of a conversation. C'mon Vincent, surely you have better things to do (I know you do, I've seen some of your great work) than jump in here criticising me. > Actually, I find this whole thread quite > laughable... we're arguing > over one click vs. two? Sheesh... Juan needs to Unfortunately little details are important..., but hey, the fact that they are says a lot about how far we've come.

On a related note, the problem with discussing *useful* stuff is nobody seems to care. We try to discuss useful stuff and it just doesn't happen. More complicated technical questions get asked, and nobody answers. Only simple (non-useful to you maybe) stuff like this generates lively discussions. I do think that is depressing. > And no, David, this isn't directly an attack on you, > so please don't > take it as such.
