    Well, I singled you out because I landed on you pretty hard when you first came here. And you're right, I never apologize. I may periodically make adjustments in my statements, but that should never be taken to mean that I'm sorry. We don't see eye to eye on a few things, but I wouldn't label our interactions here contentious, or even strained.

    Nor would I :-)

    Yeah it take a lot of courage and guts to apologize - not many men have that ;P

      CPAM.exe does not work now - crashes. It's due to some recent change Chris made.

          Hmmm, I don't see anything that would trigger a problem... How many articles do you have?

            Simmons' injuries are self-inflicted... and to follow on your analogy, Simmons would've also been stripped of medals won on any sport because of his many bigotted comments. This is a technical site.

            I disagree. This is a technical community. Technical sites don't have Lounges, leckeys, or hamsters.

              Platinum membership is a pretty exclusive group though. I think Gold should be a lot more exclusive than it is, but it seems few if any other members agree with that view. I definitely disagree with the number of posts being a consideration in user status.

              I think the number of posts should be one of the factors, since it is indicative of involvement with the community.

                The problem was in ProcessArticle - this line was crashing (exception message said - "input string was not in a proper format") :- //article.LatestRating = Convert.ToDecimal(rating); I commented it out and replaced it with this hack-fix :- article.LatestRating = Convert.ToDecimal(rating.Replace("/5", "")); But I am sure the proper fix needs to be done elsewhere.

                  I wonder if that snuck in during one of my updates. I had to fix the same thing on my newer article I'm writing...

                        Actually, I think Chris added the "/5" to the string I was parsing. I did mention that the code in the article was subject to the whims of the site admin. Chris has promised a CodeProject API to replace my work-around, but the delivery time frame has not yet been established.

                          You should go directly to the hamster chief. I'm sure there's a backdoor.
