I would just like to state that I haven't been involved in any email trading on this subject, but I am subscribed to this list through my corporate email account and 'Big Brother' is always watching. I find this list very helpful and so far everyone has been very courteous.
As a professional favor, can we keep any bad words out of our emails? I know it is possible to convey our sentiments through clean language and then I can continue to subscribe to this list which I find helpful and useful.

Almost as much as writing that email you just > sent ;) First I would have to download all of the source for the level. That alone is far more work than writing an e-mail. Then I would have to install grep for doing the global search of the source because I am working on Windows and it doesn't come with such a tool. So you are going to come back with some stupid wisecrack about the wisdom of working on Windows. However the whole point of this project is to deal with files created on Windows! Furthermore the application I am developing is intended to be run on Windows. If I were to do my application development on UNIX just to gain access to grep (OK there are a lot of other good reasons) then I would have to frequently reboot to switch back to Windows to test if it still worked there or to create new test cases. That seems like an awfully high overhead to me. Finally I do not feel that I should be compelled to become an active participant in the development of POI simply to read some XXXXXX Excel spreadsheets! I have already had to patch two of the modules to fix crashes! And when I reported the problem I was told that I would have to use another UNIX only tool to submit the report, so I gave up. By the way this thread is on the USERS mailing list, not the developers list. The only reason I went to 1.8.0 was because I had a problem at the latest level identified as "release" so it was recommended that I try the most recent "development" level. So your response is completely out of line. I feel I am due an apology. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
