<sarcasm>

You know Colin, there are those of us who can touch-type and who
don't have to sound out the words when they read! This would
allow reading dozens of articles and posting almost as many while
still leaving time for working, eating, and sleeping. Amazing,
huh?

What condescending and patronizing lecture articles? Is anyone
with the wits to use one of the Usenet search engines to look up
Steve's old posts actually fooled by this?

I'm not the only one wondering how an accounting package with so
few tables, fields, and SQL can conform to GAAP (Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles). How can three or four fields per
table actually work? What are you doing, storing most of your
data in BLOBs and using other fields only for primary keys, while
using Access Basic to do all the work? It hardly takes three
years of R&D to (mis)use a RDBMS as an old-time ISAM manager.
Tell me, how much will you charge to create a custom report?
Users of your RA package will have to come to you to get data out
of those binary fields, will they not? Nothing like job security
through obfuscation!

By the way, I'm *still* waiting for strong evidence of your
assertions that I'm BFTSI, that I had ever run a porno BBS out of
my mother's house, that I've somehow suppressed my true author
profile on DejaNews, that I have a porno habit of some sort (the
name's Joe Foster, not Fox Mulder! :-) or am especially sensitive
about anything, as you allege in Usenet article
<news:5vuotv$16t$2@gte2.gte.net>, and who knows what else you
seem to like to make up about people.

For all those who are just tuning in, catch up at DejaNews at
<http://www.dejanews.com> and do a search on cjames* and/or
colin & james & iii.
