Come on! The postings are ment as suggestions and hints. When the turn out to be wrong, they can easily be ignored. In no case postings are ment as criticism or proof of one's superiority.

It is not "You are wrong", it is "perhaps you might be wrong, consider this...". (Even if it is not explicitly written in this form. ;-) Nobody is perfect, so there is always a chance that a given hint is wrong and it shold be allowed to correct this. (Of cause, this very correction can be wrong. ;-) But if it is, I *expect* to be corrected!
