If only we really had found and reverse engineered alien spacecraft in 1947 (Roswell) - we'd be much farther out there... maybe...

Where is it mental illness, exactly? I had no idea you were qualified as clinical psychologist or were a board certified psychiatrist. And you didn't say why you should be allowed to judge and jury here? What harm, exactly, are these people doing to you that you would not allow them to identify however they choose to?

You didn't answer my question.

I feel very sorry for people that are confused by their gender.

The point is that they're not confused; they simply don't identify themselves by using traditional gender designations. I'd like to understand your issue with this - why would you care how other people see themselves? Who made you judge and jury of anyone that isn't like you?

Not a world ending event but I'll miss the banter if CM has shut it down.

Is there a reason it has become read only with no threads visible? Ok, so Chris has taken action. Not sure I think it was necessary or right but it's his game so let the trolling, baiting, ad hominem attacks, pointless posts, etc., end. :( [Ed. moved to bugs and sugs]

Constantly bombarded with spam calls. They may just have spoofed your number - they usually try to spoof a number with your area code in the hopes that you are more likely to pick up. I never do if I don't know the caller and will block if they don't leave a message and sometimes if they do!

Cool - thanks - been looking for a simple way to take payments for a web site. Any gotchas at all?

Our principal application is almost 2 million lines of VB.Net. As a c# developer I was hesitant but it really is just about getting your head around a more verbose syntax and several months to break the semi-colon and curly braces habit! Wherever possible, I still prefer c# as it feels more grown up. The biggest issue is finding engineers willing to work with VB.Net - the second you mention VB the phone goes dead... :)

Oh I am most certainly an MS-fanbois - have been since day one! I just feel like trying something new and different; you know, to spice codey things up a bit. :-)

Thanks - it'll primarily be a web application.

It doesn't - wanted to know of any good implementations that would work well with the "new" stack.

Thanks - my desire to try an alternate eco-sphere is not set in stone - it's a want rather than a need.

Thanks - coming from you, I take this as an exhortation that must be obeyed to retain one's sanity in a brave new (for me) world! :thumbsup:
