is it so difficult to follow a discussion.
if nothing else, just click on the {username} => links & look @ what you get...
if ppl were doing this a little bit more often, we wouldn't have so much misunderstanding all the time.

but i'll be a good prince...

daperl offered to write a new feature for the forum software
among fan-mail, i asked for a specific example of what his/her code would do based on a concrete situation on that very thread @ that very moment...
never got an answer to that, btw...
so after some back and forth where daperl was getting less and less specific and more and more hurt, i eventually posted my doubts about the possible performance impact of whatever s/he had in mind

any question left?
true, the whole discussion is use less
why didn't you ask your rhetorical question among all the "fan mail"?
even Texrat joined in for that...
