>Seriously though, I won't debate the "Civil MVP" thing, but I certainly question the purpose of being a Dick while posting accurate technical advice. Now, I'm no technical expert, but over the years I have grasped some basics in communication. I've noticed that people tend to listen better when they are not pissed off and on the defensive. So, if I tell somone that VB is a good tool for some things and I give them solid facts, that tends to work better than saying "HEY MORON, VB is a solid tool!"

Hi Scott,
You make sense to me, and as you know, I'm a bit slow.
