Hi Gary,

I haven't thought, that you would consider my words as an insult :( When I first saw your message yesterday, I recalled, that I saw this problem here and intended to search for the solution (or invent it myself), but noticed, that Jill already answered your question (may be she was the originator of this thread, I don't remember). That's why I allowed my remark. Sorry, if you find it insulting...

And to answer on your question: yes, Warren Group paid for my membership.

>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>).

>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.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
