I did a search through my own archives going back to December 2, 1999,
and I looked for your email address.  I stand by my numbers for the past
almost six months.  You may have posted more before that date, though,
or from another email address.

I'm not so fast at providing answers; these days I'm over 200 posts
behind every today.  Right now I'm 344 posts behind as I write this. 
I'm much too busy offering professional help to professionals who need
it to keep up with the board, though I'd certainly like to.

Everything that I've learned about the gui, I learned on this board, or
by myself.  I've not visited Cobalt, and though I've developed a good
rapport with some people inside Cobalt, I've done that by helping with
support, not by tearing them down.

I've used Unix since Microsoft Xenix ran on a TRS-80 Model II, and
before that I used Tops on the Dec PDP-10.  I've used TRS-DOS, LDOS,
DOS+, and I've even written BIOSes and BDOSes for CP/M +.

I've taught systems analysis in college.

But I'm almost completely self-educated in computers; my education is in
developmental child psychology and early-childhood education, not in
computers.  I've taken three Community College level courses in computer
fields in my life, and all within the last eight years.

So I suggest you take the time to learn, learn, and learn.

If you want someone to help you, no matter how bad his help is, don't
put him down, or the company that feeds him.  Just a thought.

You may flame me all you want.  Offlist flames get read.  Onlist flames
do not.

> If you must respond to this do it off the board!

I think I'm old enough to decide for myself where I should write my
replies.  I really don't think there's a single person on this board who
would begrudge me that; if there is, please let me know, and I'll write
a procmail rule for you so you'll never have to see my posts again
<smile>.
