Hmm i've never gotten any sort of remarks or vibes from people that felt persecuting. People I talk to in a chat room I visit just call me geeky. I then remind them that most of them are geeks too, otherwise why would they go in so much :). I also point out to the programmers that programmers are geekier than language geeks :) (no offense to you programmers on the list) =). ________________________________________________ It's worth the risk of burning, to have a second chance...
