I guess you would feel privileged to be told that to solve your problems you should change your software choices, without regard for any of the reasons you may have chosen the software you're using. Next time someone tells you that a problem you've run into is the fault of your choice of text editor or IDE, the fact you're doing things wrong, or just in your head, keep in mind this response to me you've just given. As I've indicated already, I have no problem with votes that don't agree with my preferences. I have a problem with some of the so-called reasoning behind the votes that simply dismiss differing preferences as someone else's problem without any concern for whether those differing preferences are based on real, valid concerns. If a list tag in the subject line seems superfluous to *you*, that's fine, but it doesn't mean that those who find it useful are just not doing it "right" or using old, obsolete software and should drag themselves into the 21st century by using gmail. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Brian K.
