Mailing list etiquette eh. The pasted screen print of the query and the result it gave - was not enough? You want me to do more work to satisfy a curiosity that I no longer have because you still harbour it? DC gave an illuminating answer and I have clarified that my curiosity is in seeing a formulation that used the / or ! operators. Did that part of the conversation pass you by? OTOH your answer and every thing you have contributed since did nothing to point towards the correct formulation of the query for the problem stated. Thats ok, but somehow you find it funny that I don't wish to waste my time talking about that. Funny perhaps but you should not find it strange that I don't wish to carry on engaging. This may sound patronising (where've I heard that before) but you can generally be relied upon to proffer a spectacularly insular perspective to a discussion, so invariably I don't want to stick around responding to everything you want to say. Why do you keep doing it (that's rhetorical hence no question mark). Do you see a mailing list as a venue for venting your machismo? Look there are better ways of getting rid of the excess testosterone. Trust me on that one. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://x-query.com/mailman/listinfo/talk
