>Thats fine. Except if somebody posts something completely inaccurate - are you saying we should just let it go. If you saw my initial response to Ed - with regard to his response - It was not offensive. Me getting ticked off was his response to me - regarding the way he answers questions. That was totally lame IMHO.

John, for your information (and other people who may be involved into this or any other thread), I am not talking here the accuracy of this particular answer. Edward and you may have different opinion on this problem and you can express your opinion here freely, discussing technical details. But the technical discussion must not convert to the personal attack neither after 1 answer, nor after 1000th. Nobody on UT should talk from the position of godsent person.
