If you know what your are doing browsers like Firefox provide the option to 'View Page Source' and you could nice and neatly extract what you want. On 12/19/2012 10:59 AM, Buck wrote: > Gawd Dang it.

You are totally right - I enjoy my work, my programming - lot of people complain about work stress and that's always been an alien beast to me. Anyway yeah I'm a Computer Science graduate and you are right - it is an art and you need to have talent for it and being a graduate is not related to my style of work.

I'm Barry2 or Bhairitu because my other handle on alt.meditation.transcendental was Barry and Wright's was Uncle Tantra. Blame Willy who couldn't keep his Barrys straight. So I created Bhairitu as homonym for Barry2. So "Uncle Barry" is your invention. And do you have a computer science degree? I'm not saying that ALL comscis are terrible programmers but in some situations it can be someone with the degree who is messing up more than one without it. Computer programming is more an art than a science. It is creative. Like music you have to have a talent for it.

But I'm sure they would love to find a way to make it though. :-D Friends who are visiting worked at Microsoft and found their biggest problem programmers were the ones with.. computer science degrees. They tended to create grandiose solutions for stuff that didn't need it. Probably the same at Yahoo.
