Don't worry about it. Some people here wouldn't recognize wit/humor as such if it reach up and bit them square on the ass.

If you think about it having quotes like that in the attribute value breaks the whole parsing of the element. I would recommend you move that attribute to an element e.g.: <setting name="CommandLine">notepad.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\moralja\My Documents\text\text.txt"</setting> It actually makes more sense that way too. And if you think that will be a pain with thousands of entries, you could always write a simple XSL file which does it for you in a couple of minutes :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Simon Walton wrote: "You come across a lot of people who call themselves realists, when they are actually pessimists attempting to look intelligent."

I was just a bit hot-headed when I wrote that (not generally a good state to be in trying to come up with something witty). I just don't believe that being a "real" man has anything to do with being a messy, insensitive letch. I lose my sense of humor when guys make jokes that reinforce the rediculous negative stereo types that a lot of women seem to believe about "men" (i.e. that they are stupid simple creatures). If you identify with that list, good for you. I don't (I'm not a messy, insensitive letch, and my girlfriend is not a stupid irrational person), and I don't see why that would be grounds to conclude that I am gay.

The original statement was "Iran's policies aren't dictated by the US". I wasn't arguing that the US doesn't pressure governments to follow its policy on some issues. I was arguing against the statement that governments are puppets of the US government, doing whatever they say in all cases. To make the reverse statement "Iran's policies are dictated by the US" says that all of Iran's policies are controlled by the US, but there aren't any examples of any other countries doing this. Taking a look at the specific case of Denmark, and ignoring the question of whether the US had a legitimate reason to ask this of Denmark*, it would still be incorrect to say that "Denmark's policies are dictated by the US", wouldn't it? Sure, there may be instances where they did what the US wanted (for better or worse), but I see this as a big step away from having their policies, in general, dictated by the US. * Taking into account the fact that during the Cold War, the US spent as much as all the European NATO members combined on the defense of Europe, and therefore it is arguably legitimate for the US should be allowed to ask members to contribute a little more.
