>>Victor, you know you are one of my favorites here, but I could not disagree with you more. Rick is so smart about software he is a gift to all of us. Not only does he know his stuff to a degree that practically makes my head explode, he shares his knowledge freely. I would still visit this site if he was the only one posting.
>>Rick is direct. Maybe it's a German genetic marker. IAC I read every single word he writes.
