I did not comment on the second part of your email because it was an old
technique, wiggle out by changing the subject.

As a TeamB guy I definitely see both sides.  Mr Gonder gave you an answer
that was not helpful and your response was to call him stupid.  There are
acceptable ways to say things, ways known to all if only from their home
life.  This is a public forum, you are in public, at least pretend you know
how to act in public.

If Mr Gonder gave an answer that was not helpful, then ok.  He's long
overdue for such a thing.  He knows his stuff, helps people on these
newsgroups daily and hasn't misfired in a very long time.

I challenge you, George, to help fellow developers with their problems on
these newsgroups on your own time every day without compensation for a few
months without once misfiring and looking silly.  You try to work quickly
and sometimes fumble the ball.  That is a fact of life.
