    It's probably that you've replied to a post of theirs, which generates the auto-response (which is addressed from your email address). Perhaps months later they have another problem, remember you answered their last question, so reply to that email with a new question, rather than re-posting on codeproject. I personally think all the auto-reply messages should be addressed from someone@codeproject.com rather than from the person who replied -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

    A few supporting points so that you'll stay on this right path: If you need religion to give you a sense of moral values that is kinda sad. How does it work when our actions are based upon fear of eternal punishment and hope of salvation in a mythical afterlife? The whole concept of religious faith is a cop-out. By taking something by faith, you are admitting it's an idea that can't stand on it's own evidence. Seeking meaning in life through religion is whole-heartedly stupid. If you need a God (no matter how logically absurd) to tell you who you are, you've got problems of your own. Athiests (me) know that there's no greater "point" to the universe; there's no supreme being serving punishment and judgement. We create our own ideas of fulfillment and morality, of purpose and of judgement. We do not need them handed down from a relgious text. In the words of a great blogger, Steven den Beste, "There's a rare beauty associated with athiesm: I don't need a god to tell me I'm special." The purpose of religion is to fit humans into a hierarchical structure subordinate to a supreme being. People feel more comforatable forced into a certain placement within society, placed somewhere that they know as "their place." Is this the way you want to be, or do you want to create your own placement, subordinate to no being, with your own morality? I've got more at home if you want them. Good choice. Remember that religion is an outdated view on life that may have been helpful during the middle ages, but in today's world of truth no longer fits in. May the Force be with you (sorry)! :laugh: -Domenic Denicola- [CPUA 0x1337] MadHamster Creations "I was born human. But this was an accident of fate - a condition merely of time and place.

    Are you using the same bank as Dilbert? The Bank of Ethel? Run, don't walk, to the nearest branch of any other bank available! They're all better than this one. My bank sucks, too, but only if I have to deal with them in person. They have a great online service, though, and I can cash a check anywhere in town, so I almost never have to deal with their underpaid, untrained, and overworked tellers. It's been 4 years since I last walked in the door:) There are three types of people in the world: Those who make things happen; those who watch things happen; those who wonder what happened.

    Well, if the real Alex sees this message then accept my apologies. But, Alex still needs a lesson in maturity. Not to say I don't, but Christian is too nice of a guy to have this happen to him. Because of which I flew off the handle. :-O Jeremy L. Falcon Homepage : Sonork = 100.16311 "The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions." - William F. Scolavino
