Dennis, Razzak, The very nature of our work, our distances apart and the fact that much of our effort is self interest, makes us a fairly unique 'band of brothers'. Of those who subscribe to the list, there are a number who I and no doubt others, look to as 'experts'. That title is not something you simply take on board. It is something that comes over time from the repeated quality of their input, the depth of their knowledge and the care they take when explaining or helping others. In my eyes, you have both added hugely in your own ways to move R:Base to the rightful positions it holds today. Whilst I certainly know nothing of the background to any of this nor would want to, expertise such as yours doesn't just happen. It takes years of effort and dedication. Whilst none of this has anything to do with me, I would say **** pride ! **** loss of face ! **** who's right and who's wrong ! **** the fact that this is now public ! Hell, I fall out with myself on a regular basis, but over time I get it back together and sometimes even begin to like myself. A little time and the above can heal most things. My very best to you both, David ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l
