    I did not know what was meant by the initial question and the answer could have depended on the difference. People trying to help often waste their time answering a misunderstood question. People asking questions should try to be clear. In this situation, this person is not trying. It is now not important for this question, but this person will likely waste people's time in the future. My guess is that this person is not using the best solution for their fundamental problem. They probably think that this solution is the easiest, but then they will need to enhance it some more and the final solution is likely to be more work than if they considered all their requirements initially and asked for solutions for all the requirements.

    I understood what he meant. Sometimes people do be vague and it annoyes me, but in this instance I didn't have any problems.

      I have not been very active in CodeProject, but in the CodeGuru forums I was the first to hit 10,000 posts and about 99% of them were efforts to help others. So I have seen quite a few vague questions and such. People often spend less time asking a question than we spend answering them. In this situation, my guess is that there are better answers if the person were to take the time to be clear about requirements.

        I can't argue with you there.
