If I were to attack you, I'd probably out you. ;-) So no, I don't attack, I just mock certain IBMers for their stupidity. Attacking would mean creating a sock puppet who's sole purpose is to disrupt the flow of a thread. Mocking an IBMer and showing why their argument doesn't make sense is part of the thread. _________________________________________________________________ Get thousands of games on your PC, your mobile phone, and the web with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588800/direct/01/

Oh, sorry I mistook calling me stupid, slow and who knows what that for an attack. My mistake... > Attacking would mean creating a sock puppet who's sole purpose is to > disrupt the flow of a thread. I'm glad you like the word sock-puppet which I originally used to describe Ian Michael Gumby. Are you saying Michael Segel is the sock-puppet of Ian?

Answer: "If you can't separate the character I play as gumby and myself, then I guess I gave you too much credit." > Mocking an IBMer and showing why their argument doesn't make sense is > part of the thread. Mocking is not civil. It has no place in debates. A bully mocks. Most grow out of it. Cheers Serge -- Serge Rielau DB2 Solutions Development IBM Toronto Lab
