Sorry Steve, I was really only trying to be helpful. It took me a while to catch the intended meaning of the phrase "When I had a million dollars..." and I wanted to share my results with the others - in a vaguely humourous vein. I'll make a mental note of never doing anything like this again with you. Certainly nothing light-hearted. You are right, I am new in this forum, lurking here and posting in CTF. Still trying to work things out. It is amazing to me what incredible levels of personal abuse and direct accusation are customary and permitted; and on the other hand how extremely touchy some people can be. The spectrum is mind-boggling. BTW, just for your information: one of my first postings in CTF, in which after careful scrutiny I discovered a single typo, elicited the following reply: "Helllo Tom. What will be the name of your book ? Do you have a degree in English. That is a must for this fourm. What is your yahoo rating. It don't count here. I hope you have a degree in world history that isa must. Not typing errs please." I took it as a jest, a playful "welcome to the CTF world, here his what you can expect". Do you think that was unjustified, and that in reality it warranted a protest to the moderators?
