Welcome to IWETHEY!

New On the surface of it, yes.
But note that it *does* tend to alleviate the problem the original poster pointed out; doesn't it?

All I'm saying is that it at least *seems* to me that Old Guy seldom misses a chance to post replies of *that* kind -- while, if an equally "reasonable" reply would tend to put MS in a bad light, it's not as much a given that he'll post it.

Sure, could be coincidence... Could even be a case of over-developed $hill-radar on my part... OR, it COULD be, the most insiduous -- and in the long run, most effective -- form of $hill-ing.

It's easy to prove me wrong, if you want to: Just go through all his posts and compile the stats.

Or, the easier way: Ask him about it.

Which is what I did.

New Cool...
It seems to me, though, that since our extended downtime, tempers have become more fragile, accusations come easier, and we, as a community, seem a lot more grouchy.

It could be for any number of reasons, not the most improbable, that I'm full of shit on this point. I'm pretty sure I'm more grouchy, but I also have a list of the top 75 reasons (Vista is in the single digit section of the list.)
New +10. Inciteful.
Er, I mean, insightful.

;-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New Of course you did... :)
New Speak for yourself...
...and the rest of the guys -- I, OTOH, have of course *always* been that way! :-)

(Heh; who'd'a'thunk that orneriness would ever come in handy as a defense against accusationsclaims of -- orneriness?!)
