Perhaps you are too. If not, allow me to demonstrate: # rampant snideness elided However justified you may feel, you're now presenting yourself really poorly here. You may disagree that Tony was being civil (he certainly struck me as civil), but replying to perceived offense with even more rudeness is tacky. Worse, it seems a good way to kill what could continue to be a good thread. Tacking on self-deprecating comments doesn't change that, either. -- James Britt www.jamesbritt.com - Playing with Better Toys www.ruby-doc.org - Ruby Help & Documentation www.rubystuff.com - The Ruby Store for Ruby Stuff www.neurogami.com - Smart application development
