Well, I can't talk for you, but... :laugh:

The OP can remove the question (and others with sufficient privilege can un-delete it). Deleting your own question is extremely rude and we should probably deduct a poo-load of points for doing so after someone else has answered the question. However, we still need to offer this feature because (a) there are legitimate reasons to delete a question, and (b) you can always just edit and wipe clean a question. There are other mechanisms that can close a quetion, namely reporting. A question that's poorly posed, off-topic or abuse can be closed if enough members vote it off the island.

Thank you for not posting "it tastes like chicken". In the US, the factory produced, pharmaceutically altered crap that they call chicken does not taste like chicken.

In my opinion the answers are legitime. The links I checked were not pointing commercial products. I think it is just a re-check to the unanswered list to clean up questions. They might help other people searching similar problems. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

So that's how they create politicians :laugh: Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Thanks Chris. I will keep working on it then. I think I will delete the link to my draft then as I know that my writing deficiencies probably are glaring in that draft and I do not need to embarrass myself. :-O Thanks again for the encouragement.

Ron, Thank you for the well deserved kick in the pants on optimizing the individual grayscale calculations. :) I was too pleased with myself for figuring out that I could read/write the color as an integer versus the separate alpha, red, green, blue bytes and performance boost that yielded as those individual bytes are then re-assembled to recreate that integer value in the Color structure. As I am writing this, I have realized that my logic (and attempt to optimize) was completely flawed from the start as it was all premised on creating and using a Color structure. There is absolutely no need for this structure other than as a pretty box. Oh-well, back to the drawing board. :-O I have never used a profiler, but I will look into it. Unless someone else has an explanation, I will have to chalk this up to the VB compiler optimizing this code segment better than the C# compiler. Thanks again, you made me re-think this and also made me realize that I have become susceptible to falling for the shiny box.:~

I agree. Oscar Meyer is an American bacon company perpetuating a myth. They are selling thin cuts strips of fat with a hint of meat and a heavy coating of salt. This is not real bacon! This is real bacon: British Bacon[^] Don't accept Oscar Meyer's poor substitute for the real thing. - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
