Spare a thought for her -- | she's probably struggling with difficult concepts like nested | function calls and -- horror of horrors -- recursion. People who struggle show some patience with their struggles, and show some signs of happiness at mastering each tiny little piece of the problem. People who don't struggle, anymore, but are forced to do something they are incompetent at, display the kinds of attitude that at least two recent contributors to this newsgroup display, where being at least somewhat aware of the skills, knowledge, and experience required to pass judgment is considered unnecessary. Cut no slack towards people who have no patience towards others. #:Erik -- I agree with everything you say, but I would attack to death your right to say it. -- Tom Stoppard
