**********************************************************
I think you are abusing the mailing list.
**********************************************************

You are now incorrect in assuming that Tom is the only one complaining about
your usage of this mailing list.

What I find amusing (sickening, actually) is you're berating someone who has a
*very* good chance of helping you because not only does he *know* how to code,
but he's *nice* enough to help people who are *nice to him* and at least showed
some *prerogative* to solving their *own* problem using their own brainpower
instead of dumping it to the ROM list immediately.

Did I put enough emphasis on the key words there?  Plain text can't do 20-pt
bold lettering, unfortunately.

I am also new to coding ROM.  Tom has helped me indirectly since I joined when I
was a lurker, and directly when I was a poster.  I don't know what your problem
is (I'm thinking superiority/ego problem), but berating a long-established
member who *helps* people isn't the best way to go about expressing it.

Can you taste the hypocrisy?  I can.  It's as thick and stong as molasses.

What are you doing here, Mr. Dantin?
