Kevin;

Well, we learn more and more with each episode of your comments about VFP. I guess you come here for comedic relief, blow a few minds, piss off a few people, and then go back to serving your customers.

There are ways to get a message across without aggravating your audience.

Perhaps you would think of me as a failure or bust your gut if I said what profession I will be enjoying in a year or two, when I retire. I will be teaching piano and guitar. Surely that is worth a laugh! By the way I have played flamenco guitar professionally for some of the most famous dance groups and families from Spain. I guess that is not a worthy endeavor.

Are we truly getting all of your message or are we missing something important? Perhaps you should print out and read your messages as I have. I think I have missed at least 95% of your true meaning but I now understand your intent. At least I would like to think so, based upon the history of your posts on this subject.

By the way scrap-booking sounds like an enjoyable venture with rewards that are not available through programming, in my opinion. :)

Tom

>But...FWIW, I don't buy into the stimulus-response notion of "baiting". Requérir deux à dansez. For instance, someone made a rather crass analogy with the likely intention of seeing how high the mercury would rise. You'll notice I didn't say much to him after that.
