The problem, to me, is that HE felt that HE had the right to look at ANYTHING HE WANTED. On the off chance that it might be "interesting" or "useful". I guess my response to him was with my paranoid security freak hat on. He never indicated what he was looking for. He was just trolling for "whatever I may find." Not a good response to this security freak. Also not smart to imply that I am a liar and he had the right to question anything that I told him. Again, not a smart thing to do! That may come across as arrogant on my part. But I've been burned too many times by "smart" programmer who "borrow" code from me, without asking, then enter problem reports against it when the code doesn't do what they wanted it to. That's why my libraries and jobs are unreadable by anybody outside my group. I've even had "code stealing" problem within my group. But they are usually smart enough to not whine at me when the stolen code "doesn't work right." -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
