bpa,
thx again. i should mention though that it wasn't the handles that got
me 'worked up,' but rather the times i'd come back to my computer to
find slimtray at 68megs and unresponsive. i didn't even know about the
handles issue till after that.
thx for not tackling me, and tackling the problem. i do appreciate
it.

without cause. tone is a very subjective standard, especially on a msg
board, and imo, i don't see anything to object to in my "tone."
certainly nothing personal, and nothing directed at any individual, (at
least not at first, until someone attacked me).
sounds to me like now you're just grasping at straws, since there is no
there, there. instead, we'll just attack you not on what you said, but
on our subjective impressions of our feelings about what you said.
lame.

straw man. i asked why isn't it done in C? i didn't say do it in C.
u apparently can't tell the difference. read the whole thread, see the
evolution of the convo.
and whats really funny about this whole thing, is i didn't even bring
up C first! jjzolx did. be sure you have enough wood to burn him at
the stake too, (damn heretics)

i didn't offer a solution, i asked a question.
and i still don't have an answer to it. why is the current way of
doing slimtray, better than doing it in C, IF jjzolx is correct about
what he says in #5, and i have no reason to doubt him?
is the question itself impermissible? how liberal [small l] an
attitude.

wow.
thats nonsense, pure and simple.
first off, i asked a question, but even if i had suggested a solution,
its not what you claim it is, ie. 'rude and arrogant.'
do you people who feel this way ever leave your house?
i really don't care what those of you who have a problem with me think.
i just wish you'd PM it. how is what you're doing benefitting anyone?
and the question still remains, why is the current solution for
slimtray, a by definition windows only app, the best one, given the
problems with it, whatever they may be?
its just a question.
