This is childish and insulting. Please try to have a little more respect for the people you're dealing with -- who live and work in the real world as much as you do. The standard of discourse on this list has been dropping of late, and we'd all get a lot more done if we'd learn to take a deep breath before posting. Try to remember this is a technical discussion, not an argument in a bar. Andrew.
