In Mikael's defence, I suspect that rather than trying to beat down other people for their opinions, he is rather trying to genuinely understand their point of view. I think sometimes I come off this way myself occasionally, without intending to. I admit I have only been peripherally following this (mainly because I never use the "mark as waiting" but always dispatch outbound messages immediately). However, from the last few messages I've read, I am as perplexed by the dissenting opinions as Mikael is. Therefore, my inclination is also to ask "but can you please explain why" -- not in order to try and trip up the other party and bolster my self esteem, but rather to make absolutely sure I am not grossly mis-understanding the situation. In other words, maybe their opinion seems ridiculous to me only because of my own error in comprehension. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
