In any case, this newsgroup is dying from lack of new regulars, and I think that is a key reason. If you get jumped on the first time you ask a question, why come back? When I first showed up in comp.lang.java as a very experienced programmer but new to Java, my questions were answered politely and my mistakes were handled gently. The failures of this newsgroup have not made me give up on Java, for anything for which Java seems to me to be the most suitable of the languages I know. Of course, a language making things you need to do awkward is an extremely good reason for using a different language. With so many languages to choose from, there is no point fighting a language that is not a good fit for what you are doing. Patricia
