RIGHT ON! How can anybody be expected to give an answer without seeing
stack dumps?

It is occasionally fascinating to watch the responses, in MS NG's, to
a post that suggests or recommends something quite specific. Responses
rapidly appear that "read-into" the original post ALL SORTS of things
that simply were not contained or even suggested in that post !

Then there are the responses that critisize the original postee for
not having included a MASSIVE BULK of related background information -
in the original post !

Wow, I didn't know God visited these newsgroups.

I knew it because the Voices told me.

After reading your replies here, I can only say:

Richard, why........do you make posts as these, really? Tell you what, this
in now your Andy Warhol moment. Can we all move on now?

Completely off topic ... this morning I saw a bumper sticker:

"Eight out of ten of the voices in my head are telling me not to shoot."

:-)

RJK is RJK. He dances to his own drummer, and it's probably best not to try
to teach him to tango. He generally falls off and back on my block list
from time to time depending on what he's about at the moment. Yesterday it
was back "on" again.

Sounds to me like he is only looking for attention.

I remember I once got confused between you and RJK and then realized I was
talking to someone else and not the MVP -- Richard G. Harper.

well, I have a good read here, regularly, and don't very often post, but, it
struck me that you all need livening up from time to time. :-)

Good Point, Gary but I guess what is said has already been said. I will be
more careful about what I type in the future. eg

As trolls go, with only 21 messages in the thread, this was an abysmal
failure Richard.

Ya need to get at least 50 before it is anywhere near being a success.
