>Oh, I see. You get to say "depends on the circumstances", but when I do something different from you based on my circumstances, I am insulted and attacked. Again, I'm learning a lot about you.

I haven't seen anything I'd call an attack or insult. You are using words like arrogant and fixating though.

>>Fixating ? Perhaps, but it is a small corner I have a knack for and sometimes get paid well to fix other peoples messes.

>Yep, I've fixed a lot of messes, too. I've seen plenty of programmers who might be able to write - for instance - really fast, tight code. But their skill at building a workable interface is poor. Or they don't document well. Or they don't create code using an appropriate level of granularity. My point is simply that there's a lot more to coding than speed of execution. If you have an environment where speed becomes more important, then you are correct to focus on it. But where you are incorrect and rude is to slam other people because they don't code exactly as you do. In my environment, other things are more important, but you don't seem to be able to understand that.

I agree with all of that. I would like to point out that there is value in trying to come to a consensus about granularity, UDFs etc. We can only get that by putting aside our emotions - something else Star Trek taught me about life! ;)
