Mr Kreskowiak, You stupid person. I retired a few years ago. I bought a laptop for fun and enjoyment - learning visial basic has become a very satisfying hobby. I have no grandchildren and my wife recently died. Inane and ignorant remarks is obviously your low standard. I have not conned anybody. I have posted genuine questions in these pages because I enjoy learning VB Get your facts right before posting pathetic and remarks. Stephen Comfort
Thanks for your help and advice! Steve

Not even remotely the right forum for this, but to respond: We are flooded here constantly with people asking questions like yours. Questions that either have no real world use and are someone's homework ( which is why you got lots of people trying to help you work towards the solution, the assumption being that giving you the solution would be doing you a disservice, because it would stop you from actually learning, or learning how to learn, if you were a student in a course ), or, worse. that are the paid work of some third world outsourcer who can barely type and who has in effect taken paid work from the very people who they then ask to do the work for them. People like yourself, who are just learning for fun, are such a minority, that they are hard to spot. I know that Dave, like myself, puts a lot of time into helping on these forums, BUT I also know we both try to lead the horse towards water, without actually pushing them into it, that is, to encourage people to use google, to buy and read books, to give them a nudge in the right direction, but not to write outright solutions to simple problems. Neither of us does this to tease or upset, we do it so that people who really want to learn, get help, and people looking to get free course credits, do not succeed. Again, that's the majority of what we see around here. I am sorry for your loss, however, it's not really relevant, it shouldn't change how you're treated in a public programming forum. I'm sure that understanding where you're coming from in your approach to computing will color how anyone who reads this treats your questions in future, I can only state again, you've walked into a world where people who don't want to learn, try to get us to do paid work for them, and it's against that backdrop that it was assumed that you were trying to get us to do your paid work or homework for you.

Facts?? The only facts I had were the ones you posted in your orignal post, which wasn't much and didn't include your life story. You sounded like every other idiot who comes here looking for us to do their work for them because they went to RentACoder and got some schmuck to pay them to do a project they're nowhere near qualified to write. After seeing that 20 times a day around here, it gets a little old. I'm sorry you got splashed by the artillery shell I lob at every one them.

Having a burst-out on the internet will get you nowhere. History says you are likely to be ridiculed. Sometimes it is just best to swallow or ignore another person's opinions. In fact, why should you even care about the opinion of some one you dont know? And the last tip. Never expect to win an argument on the internet :)

Hi. First, you seem to be clueless about the net and forums. In most forums, such an asinine post is a guaranteed way to get banned! Especially since it's a direct attack. BTW: I've was on email distribution lists before there was a "net". So, I'm about as far from being a newbie on the net as is possible. Second, gee, guess the type of people that are on this forum. :) I taught Computer Engineering for 8 semesters. I taught everything from freshman programming to senior labs. I was also responsible for introducing a new course, and directly involved in the change over to a different programming language for a course. So, I know very well what the level of questions that a person asks implies about the poster. I see by your profile, you've been a forum member for over two years. In that case, your question doesn't make any sense to me. To be blunt, your question shows a complete lack of experience. I'd expect a freshman to know how to do what you asked by mid-course. And, that's with a freshman software course that's required by non engineers (such as math/science majors, etc). Also, your question sounds a LOT like a homework question. People know, I'll quickly blast someone that I think is asking for code for their homework question. Last, regardless of what you say, MY feeling is that you asking about a homework question. Just my two cents.... ______________ Joe

Opps, I forget to add. Websites are private operations. Under the LAW, a person has ZERO RIGHTS in a forum. Is that clear - *ZERO*! The web site owner has FULL CONTROL and 100% right to ban/accept anyone FOR ANY REASON THEY FEEL LIKE! A web site or forum is NOT, I repeat - is NOT, a public right. Of course, the standard laws still apply like libel, and such. I've had my web sites for ~15 years. I've managed internal specialized websites for some companies that I worked for. And, I help friends manage their own small business web sites. So again, I'm far from a newbie when it comes websites, the law, and so on. FWIW: I see a ton of copyright violations on websites and forums today. And, anyone that thinks that a Fortune 500 company doesn't know about the copyright violations is a fool. It's all a mater of what makes sense (and cents - as in cost :)) for a company to go after. One of my former co-worker friends is a company lawyer that is involved in exactly that type of stuff. So, just because you see someone get away with something, that doesn't mean that it's legal, proper, or allowed for other people. I figured that you might be interested in the above. __________ Joe
