I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU COULD EVEN ENTERTAIN THE IDEA THAT POSTING CODE ON A LIST SUCH AS THIS COULD BE LACKING IN ETIQUETTE. THAT IS AS WACKY A THOUGHT AS I HAVE HEARD IN SOME TIME. I have no desire to lead anyone anywhere. I would like to be able to talk to people without officious hall-monitor types constantly carping about thoughtless nonsense. The post was for the code. If you don't want the code, don't read it. If you thought it through, and if you noticed that people ask the same things over and over on the list, you might want to try something to make that unnecessary. Doesn't this sound like a good idea(er)? If answers are kept off the list instead of on the list, then all you have are the questions. That would not be too good, would it? Wouldn't that be a real "DOH!"? Maybe you don't like the answer, but that is not the issue you raised. Not only, in my opinion, is posting code good etiquette but also, in my opinion, it is kind of THE POINT. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? What is maddening is that I imagine some people will actually try to support this rather odd idea that a list discussing code should not include code but should post it elsewhere. Lord!
