Originally I did not want to reply but I can't leave this statement of Ilias uncommented: basically this means "shut up and answer my questions". This is an insult to the complete community which is trying to be helpful despite the reputation he has gained in the past. That kind of attitude might work towards someone I am paying (although even there it is bad style and not likely to improve the outcome of the collaboration) but it is completely misguided towards a community of volunteers who interact because of the fun or because they like to discuss technical issues. Ilias, if you do not want to discuss your requirement you don't have to. But we are equally free in the way we reply so please keep that in mind. It's give and take and communities like ours work only if there is a balance, giving more than one takes usually works pretty well while the opposite doesn't. > It would be unprofessional of me not to discuss a requirement with an actual > client who is actually paying me, so where does that leave you?
