        Agreed, however a lot of airlines have made Texas a no-fly-zone just to be on the safe side. ;P

          Shirley it was a a public member variable? And I agree with that sentiment.

            No it was not that bad. :) It was a public property that could be used to communicate between two forms. There are other better ways to communicate between forms.

              And, in the worst case, I still have connections to people going through air defense training - in Texas. Accidents do happen in training...

              And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
              "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

              And I smiled and was happy
              And it came worse.

                He's not complaining about the points. He's irritated that people downvote his answer without a supporting argument. Happens to me A LOT, like yesterday when I told a guy to search google, and to add the word "breasts" if he wanted more search results returned. I got 1-voted for that with no supporting argument. Pffft!

                  I figure that if he gets really good results (even if they're not what he was actually after), he would start to use google more often without being prompted to do so.

                    How about people that 1-vote all of the answers to their question because they simply don't like them, regardless of correctness? How can I protect my coding from hacker?[^]

                      Yeah those are generally the ones who are looking for in-built .Net functions for a library or hotel management system.

                        I propose that CP require users to give a reason for every time they up-vote or down-vote anything (e.g. article, post, etc.).

                        Regards, Mike
