Careful James has answered a lot of questions and done a very good job of it, and these postings are archived. if > you really think beginners like me, for whom this list was created in the > first place, are not worthy of your expertise and knowledge, then please by > all means spare us from your wisdom and as well as criticism.

You yourself also stated you didn't want to waste other poster's time, but not turning on strict/warnings is a direct contradiction of that. He also mentioned that you had been around a while and should no better, I can't attest one way or another, so many names are just fly bys, but you should take that as a complement and a hint... I will admit this is a beginners list, but if you thought James' comments were harsh you need to grow a much, much tougher skin before venturing out on to the rest of the internet.
