But he's been asked to do that a thousand times, and he refuses to do so! 
His purpose here, as he has demonstrated many times before, over many years, 
is to deliberately "wind up" the VB6 community, sometimes by posting what 
can only be described as blatant advertisements for dotnet and sometimes 
just by answering off topic questions in what is clearly a newsgroup for 
Visual Basic, something which the imposter that calls itself VB.Net clearly 
is not. VB.Net is in fact a totally and utterly different product onto which 
Micro$oft have deliberately and dishonestly grafted some "Basic looking 
constructs" in order to deceive the public and in order to dishonestly 
separate them from their money.

Shelton is a Micro$oft fanboy and he believes anything that Micro$oft feed 
to him. If Micro$oft sold him a donkey's turd and told him it was a pork 
sausage then he would probably eat it! Not only that, he would probably say 
it tasted great in order not to offend his masters!

Incidentally, Shelton is often defended by someone from Germany who we have 
never heard of before or who, like yourself, has been involved in just a 
couple of threads here in the last ten years! Almost as though you've been 
"sent for". Are you his boyfriend?

Well it is clearly NOT an argument, it is simply a request, one that has 
been made many times before and which he chooses to ignore.

> Even if pissing might hit the right one :-)

Yes, of course he might well hit himself with his own piss. In fact I 
suspect that might be the case, but only Shelton would be able to answer 
that one for you, although if you are in fact his boyfriend then you'll 
probably already know the answer yourself ;-)
