Thanks Charles,
I find it very tiresome when people are overtly negative.
On the java forums there's numerous 'forum police' whose sole postings
consist of telling people off for
1) Top posting
2) not quoting
3) off topics
4) the colour of their shirts...
My life is to short to worry about these things.
Andrew
