Woahh there Gary,

Calm down a bit!...

I personally interpreted Nadya's message as pointing out the recent changes to UT so that BUTM's can no longer search (changed in the last week).. I don't think she was saying she would not help you because of the colour of your money etc.

>>If you was a PUTM, you would be able to find this solution, because this problem was discussed here quite recently...

>So because I am not a PUTM you would not be prepared to help me other than to recommend PUTM membership to allow searching in the event that there might have been a discussion on the topic recently? Do you have shares in the UT or something <s> ?

>FYI, I did have a PUTM membership but I did not renew it because of the unfavourable "signal to noise" ratio that occurs here more often than not. The new points/stars system has been necessitated just to be able to pick out the salient responses (ANSWERS) to questions in the unwieldy threads that routinely evolve here.

>You appear to ask more than your fair share of questions and liberally utilise the freeware/shareware available here (again requiring PUTM in order to search). You likewise get considerable assistance from the authors of such packages. On the otherhand, I have personally purchased all of my tools, framework etc. So, I receive support from the 3rd party vendors because I have paid for it. By the way, I also have the source code for all my tools too (likewise because I have paid for it <bg>).

>Maybe you are duty bound to be a PUTM, given how much you actually get out of the UT. Bye the way, did you pay for your membership or the Warren Group <s> ?

>I could have asked the same question on Compuserve, WestWind, DevX, VFUG etc and would not have been asked to pay to use a search facility. Had I gone to these other sites, I would have still asked the question and not searched for an answer. I guess its personal as to how you approach a problem.
