You're modus-operandi is quite clear to all here. Unfair. John is prepared to help anybody with a genuine question or problem, as I have personally experienced on a number of occasions. The thing is, he doesn't seem to be inclined to help posters with a "certain profile." I am not going to tell you what that 'certain profile' is, but if you stick around CLF long enough, you will start recognizing a pattern. Now, most long time residents of CLF simply ignore posters with that 'special something,' but John is unusual in the sense that he takes pleasure in extensively and repeatedly pointing out the obvious. I say 'pleasure,' but it could be that others here would consider calling it 'taking social responsibility.' > However, I'd rather go for a beer with Hugh > and/or Rod any day. You know, I think you seriously mean it. [..] -marcel
