Right, Reggie. You're the authority on everything, most particularly cheesy debate techniques. The ever elusive context of the Mind of Reg(TM) is a old conundrum. Think Microsoft's lawyers will have you testify to explain away all that email? There's one little point in this post that is, er, contradicted by history. VBA is freely licensed to third parties who are actually encouraged to integrate it into thier apps, thereby eliinating the need to recode much of MSFT's end users proprietary technology. There was a story a year ago or so, where Corel heard about this "freely licensed" best thing since sliced bread VBA technology, and called Redmond about getting this "free license" that everybody else was getting. To them, the cost was a cool $50million. Another one of those newfangled Microsoftese definitions of "free", I guess. Oh, and I see that besides what Beavis noted there was plenty of other stuff where you couldn't be bothered to "read what you have typoed carefully", or even look at the red words in the preview. Eliinating? Cheers, Dan.
