Ravi, you seem to be suffering Barry-Barry. I'm Barry2 or Bhairitu because my other handle on alt.meditation.transcendental was Barry and Wright's was Uncle Tantra. Blame Willy who couldn't keep his Barrys straight. So I created Bhairitu as homonym for Barry2. So "Uncle Barry" is your invention. And do you have a computer science degree? I'm not saying that ALL comscis are terrible programmers but in some situations it can be someone with the degree who is messing up more than one without it. Computer programming is more an art than a science. It is creative. Like music you have to have a talent for it.
