He figured it out almost immediately -- he got a post in before anyone
replied. That's not the point.
>my software is better than yours
Yes, discussing software may be off-topic for RCSE except that if you
happen to maintain a web site for a soaring club you also get to be the
unofficial IT person for the (soaring) club for that percentage of
members who've got computers but can't access the club site, get emails,
send mails and so on. Since this is a waste of time -- it may be useful
and important to the club but its still a waste of my time -- I for one
am always looking for short cuts, ways to simplify the operation of
people's systems so they aren't a nuisance.
The prime suspects when there is trouble are invariably Microsoft or
AoL. So like the cure for your head hurting because you persistently
bang it against a brick wall, the cure is just to "stop doing it".
Unfortunately people are reluctant to change, you often have to work
with what they're willing to do, but there's no harm in getting the word
out to cut down on the number of questions later.
