You're coming out as patronising again here. You've been told that you've got this problem with your emails, but you seem to be in denial. Is there anything else we can do to try to help you with it? > I regret that anyone would have taken that to mean "adding patronizing quality" > rather than "adding lightness". Have you heard the phrase "I don't care how sweetly you smile when hitting him, it's still assault"? The bulk of your report didn't really help anyone to *fix* the problem, probably put a couple of people off helping on this list and then the bad-taste "lightness" was the icing on the cake. To summarise, I think the main points were: 1. Your "bug report" was demotivating rather than helpful -- help wanted; 2. Few of the developers can fix your bug -- help wanted; HTH HAND -- MJR http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is my home web site. This for Jabber Messaging. How's my writing?
