And you're accusing someone else of arrogance here ;-)? I don't think anyone is deliberately talking down to you -- would you contest the assertion that you are an 'apprentice' in the art of programming, and are posting on c.l.py to learn from those with more experience? > You have my continued promise that I will do all I can to edit my questions > as intelligently as you would before I post them. > Trust me, I don't like looking foolish, and I know I do. Tim's given you a few suggestions, as have many others -- perhaps it would be worth making a note, somewhere, of checks to go through before you post, to ensure that you come across as well as you intend?
