Mr. Grant, have we become so high and mighty in our little assembly
towers that we can't respond with respect and dignity to someone who
is not 'at our level?'  Your response to his query was totally
inappropriate.  Remember your roots - have some compassion upon the
"uninitiated!"  I don't object to informing people that they're in
the wrong forest; however, the use of such witticisms as 'sonny',
and 'toy'  makes this list seem like a snobbish group of programming
elitists.  I hope that this is not what this list is about.
