Very witty! And not without some serious effect. But I don't
think I've ever blasted anyone on this list; I have always tried
to give a named resource if I couldn't explain some issue without
writing 20+ lines of code. The worse I can remember was poking
fun at a "software engineer" for asking some basic HTML question
and (rightly, me thinks) criticizing the guy who (on more than
this list) posted some racist comments about how he was being
treated by a couple of Europeans.
Anyhoots, my "ranting" is finished; I off to JavaOne and will
enjoy bantering with you guys again in about 10 days. Should I
activate my .vacation file now? :-)~
Cheers!
Mark
