Maybe. But - forgive me for being contrary - with much, much lesser pleasure. Why? It's simple: every creator likes his work to be appreciated. The painter likes his pictures to be watched, the writer likes his books to be read - not just to lie on the shelves - and so is with software developer. Pay attention: there is a feedback. But I'm afraid, this thread goes still more and more out of topic. ;) -- ZB
