Hi Derek,

I think it was just innocent joking remark, why did you take it so seriously? And the point of man vs. woman was brought by me.

>>>>>WOW !!!! Are you telling me that you always write bug-free code and have never had to figure out why something in your program wasn't working as it should be? I am suitable impressed!

>>>>>You are a much better man than I am!

>Are you nuts?

>I just am used to putting print outs (i.e. messagebox, console output) in my code where the bug seems to be occuring so I know what's going on, I find the problem and then I fix it.

>I can't believe how offended you got! Then, in another post, you make it about being a man or woman. I think you should calm down and not jump to conclusions. Then, if you are woman enough, you should be kind and apologize. Your post, and subsequent remark, was rude.

>To answer your next question: why don't I use debuggers? For many years I programmed in 32-bit protected mode assembly language and we did not have debuggers (like we have today) - and I grew used to putting in print outs in the code - it works for me. Also, for many years I worked with Clipper (I think from version Winter '85 (If I am correct) and onwards), and there as no debugger with Clipper. So I just never used a debugger. I don't use the VS2008 debugger because my windows are all DLLs opened through reflection and it's just easier to use print outs in the code.

>To end: not once in my posts have I said I don't have bugs, I just said I have never used the debuggers in any development tools.
