Quit fishing for a flame.

You know nothing about my background and years of experience.
I have forgotten more about IT and programming than you will
ever learn in a life time.

You already read the 3 other reply posts and there was no need to
say what you did. You added nothing to the info in the thread.
The thread was basically ended already.

This is not the first time you have replied to posts in
this condescending manner.

I am putting you on notice, your manner and tone is not acceptable on 
this list. Please take more time to consider your replies before posting 
again.

Any further reply from you about this will be considered as flaming and 
ignored.
