I agree with some of the above, however, I think mr green was attempting to be funny. for my money I found the comment quite humourous as I've asked so many simple questions by now that could have been easily looked up in the man pages or info docs that I can afford a laugh at such humour. look, there's always one that comes along tnat will ask question after question after question expecting the more advanced users to tell them straight off. let's be reasonable people, we can't expect those that have been in the game for years to answer our every question especially if the answer can be found in documentation. although, sometimes on the other hand, the answer isn't so obvious so in cases like that, the questions do get asked. I think to be fare, to all concerned just take the comment for what it was. an attempt at humour. -- Shaun Oliver "Becareful of the toes u step on today, they maybe connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!"
