>>Not much chance of that (then again, I've noticed a few sycophants throughout this thread, saying that he's wonderful - maybe just trying to avoid the abuse)<<

Actually ER has done some fairly cool stuff around here... the Windows Script Host stuff is well worth digging out, I'm fairly sure he contributed to that.

So he is a bit cutting. You need to decide whether you care more about that than about the technical contribution. For me, I'd rather grit my teeth dealing with the rudest accountant in the world if I end up saving big $ every time and structuring my affairs to very berst advantage, than a kindly fool who gets me investigated every year.

There are certain others round here who behave like experts and are as rude as hell, but have never that I have seen answered a technical question about anything but their own particular snarling view. Give me ER any day.
