Only after I gave you constructive criticism and you continued to request further interaction on the topic. You and your cohorts are pissants.

All you worry about is how can post what where. It's not your job to tell me what I can and cannot say. I can say you were unable to fix GoFish when you trip over its bugs or you would have.

>>>>What I was really trying to see is if programmers can resist providing a better way to write given code expecting not to be told off off for doing what is natural to us or having someone insist that this should go elsewhere. I am well able to decide where and what to post and I don't need any security guard telling me what to do and how to do it. That is a sure-fire way to reduce one's willingness to contribute. In fact, it's fun to offer alternatives and we should be free to do so. Why did you use strtran? :)

>>>What a load of BS Mike. What other people were complaining was about you judging other developer's code as crap without even bothering to answer the original question asked, something that you did not get from anyone here, as it should be. You came here and posted a deliberately strange code and people assumed you were asking how can it be solved in different ways (as you did not provide any background or ask any question) and they tried to answer as best as respectfully as they could, now show me anyone that judged your code as crap. Nobody right? See the difference?

>>>If you would had answered your own question, you would have started with some derogatory comment on the code posted, something along the lines of "I often wonder why people write code in such primitive ways..." (and then of course ignoring the question asked, as well as completely missing the irony of proposing VFP code as non primitive).
