No harm intended! And it was not directed at anyone person either. >If you're really going to post this "monthly", post it to >alt.english.there.their.they're.words instead. For proper use of words I'll >reference Webster's and english textbooks and not your posts in >comp.databases.informix! Agreed. But I stand my ground on the "there" word. Yes I wrongly spell and use bad grammar too. Don't want you to be offended by my comments. They were meant as tongue-in-cheek, light-hearted. Just didn't put enough smily faces on the message. There are certainly more important issues we can pick over. ( That ORACLE thread was a beauty. :-) Serious was not the intent. Whoever was offended by my comments please accept this international apology. I did not post to flame or cause someone else increased anxiety about posting if their english was bad. Don't worry about it in the future...Post away! -- \\\\|// (o o) ==============================---o00--(_)--00o---============================ Tim Schaefer http://www.gate.net/~tschaefe The Computer Business Company, Inc. tschaefe@gate.net Coconut Creek, FL, USA INXUTIL 2.0 is now absolutely FREE Ub...eh...Now, see, who gets to ask the questions here? --Ross Perot =============================================================================
