Johns sake ]

I don't know what you are talking about John. I don't see what you claim in 
Jose's posts at all. Not even a little.

And just for the record, we use qualifiers extensively, primarily to 
designate whole companies and sometimes almost-companies or sub-companies 
like subcontractors or agents working for a given company. That is a 
perfectly admirable and defensible use of qualifiers and yet if we wanted to 
give a hundred users each a qualifier in the same file tha already has 30 
qualifiers for 30 cmpanies in the same body of code, (and I will rejeject 
any suggestion that I should maybe split the companies into their own 
filepro trees) it would get pretty uweildly. It would be FAR easier and 
saner to use a field.

Maybe the original poster doesn't have a situation like that to worry about, 
but does that make Jose's comments actually incorrect? Even inadviseable? 
Not even a little.

Is this a 3 year cycle? Are you building up to another "I'm never coming 
here again as long as I live or at least until that Mark Fairlite guy is 
banned from the list!", only with Jose or some other unfortunate plugged in 
that spot this time?
I would say your last couple posts were basically out of character, not 
novel though, just been a few years.

Now, you can assign whatever kind of snide or immature attitude you want to 
THIS post, but what you can't do is speak on that subject from a position of 
authority. I reserve that place for myself and such persons as my mother & 
my brother. I am telling you, that I'm not having a teenage belligerance 
moment here. I am simply expressing my considered dismay at your treatment 
of a fellow list member.
