Sorry about calling you clueless, btw, I mistakenly thought your post was
from the same person who linked to the propaganda bullshit site on MS : I'm
no fan of MS, but I'm tired of falsehoods being used to critique them.
Especially as all those examples were null or so badly distorted to be
absolutely pointless.
Not a flame war :)
Incidentallly, I've been also failing miserably at fixing this : my code
rustiness shows badly in this instance :)
Cheers,
Nic
