Threads involving Andrew often spiral into conversations such as the one 
you just experienced. It is due to him complaining more about your 
presentation than just ignoring the fact it wasn't perfect or wasn't the 
way he would have done it and just helping w/o making such remarks. I 
believe the number of useful sentences he produces are overshadowed by 
how many non-useful sentences he produces. Wear a flak jacket so you are 
always prepared for his responses.

Using TBird 2.0 on a 19" screen the code is perfectly readable for me. 
Only 2 lines wrap (the setHorizontalGroup/setVerticalGroup lines within 
his initComponent() method).

He shall be hanged for this abomination, then disemboweled. That will 
teach him.
