I'm sure Mike was not implying that you are dumb nor was he trying to
be-little you.  Mike's is an extremely helpful/useful member of this list.
Most of his comments are filled with more information and useful tips than
many of us put together could muster.  Given his high post rate, he tries
very hard to lend a helping hand and does not deserve to be called useless.

Remember that it is difficult to understand the tone that a particular email
was written in.  It seemed to me that Mike was simply questioning your
method and offering an alternative solution; this is a very effective way of
helping people.

I hope your day goes better . . . it's the freakin' weekend.

Matt W.

PS Hans is cool too.
