Now I understand. Microsoft has cultivated a 'here's the answer your looking for now without a lot of techno-club hetro-bashing-type huff, and oh, by the way, you may want to do it this way as it makes it easier for others to follow (hey, thanks for the tip!)' culture (scarcasm aside, I do realize the MS crowd out there has been spoiled compared to the UNIX-IBM-Oracle crowd) and whenever we peer over the fence from ms land you deal with the outcome of this spoiling of people who are used to being able to find the answer
they seek quickly (well, usually) without reading 10 books. It's not easy being you.
Again, thank you for answering my question. I do appreciate it. Received on Mon Jun 11 2007 - 06:46:21 CDT
