George: Over-inflated self importance? That certainly sounds like me. :-) On a serious note, don't be too hash on those who contribute -- keep in mind that in contributing we all learn -- this often includes the contributor as well. Nothing like being proven wrong to humble oneself. For example, I teach this stuff and several times over the course of a semester I have had students ask questions and then question my answers. Then after investigation to find my answer wrong -- now that's humbling, but that's part of the leaning process. So, my recommendation is to take and give what you can and leave judgement of the posters to the general audience -- the truth will win out. Cheers, tedd PS: I know it's not Friday, but this question came up in class yesterday and I thought maybe all of you might like to guess why null is Wednesday? _____________________ t...@sperling.com http://sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
