If only ...

I spend a lot less time here now, following the amount of abuse I received from one MVP for pointing out a potential serious fault with a piece of code he posted. It was a routine that checked validity of filenames, the typo's I could live with, but it had the possible side-effect of deleting any existing file with the same name. I thought this was serious enough to warn the recipient about. The amount of abuse I received was intolerable - and I see the particular MVP is still about & boasting about upsetting people (Ed Rauh, if you couldn't guess).
