Micha, so then if you can't extend it, why wouldn't you just SAY that instead of telling him to read up on classes in TFM. The statement, "RTFM where it says all about classes" to most logical people would imply there is a way if you just take the time read the manual, not that if you take the time to read the manual, you'll discover you can't do it. I think perhaps your RTFM attitude is/was uncalled for and unfair to the poster. This is the kind of attitude that has degraded the list, not that the gurus have gone on. You could say "RTFM" to just about anything you think YOU'RE a wiz at. Some people HAVE read the manual (which your link was actual to the Live Docs, not the built in help), or couldn't find it in the manual, and just want to ask for some legitimate help, which is what this list is for. If you think someone should just read the manual, then don't bother responding, just keep quiet rather than trying to cop an attitude and make them feel stupid for asking. Peter, just ignore him.
