Come on, Bob.!...First, all that hoopla -not yours- because Enrique and I changed a couple of posts in spanish; now we must take great care to do jokes about our mental health because somebody can take that and carry it to RGCC... Don't you think we are getting too serious? This is not more than fun, at least to me, and I intend to keep it that way. Not even for programmers this is more than fun. You are a known programmer and analyst, I have read about your works, etc, etc. You does nto depend in any aspect of this site and the probable use of the post that are delivered here, excepto if you say you will shoot against the President. Not you not me put here all the eggs of his life. If Chris or Mickey Mouse take my post and distort them, well, i will see in each case, BUT i will not hold my pen nor my tongue a priori just in case. Fernando
