Excuse me?  What in the world could you be talking about. Two things...
don't know what a snark is, but it sounds "not good"... and don't see what
you could be implying or inferring. I merely, andclearly I thought, said I
would love to see some of Howie's tips andtrck tricks up here... and more so
than Brian's.  Surely, you don't believe their filePro expertise is anywhere
in the same ballpark do you? My comment, was just aimed to say, hey if you
can get Brian to dump code and examples up here, it certainly would be great
if you could get Howie to do the same. I'm wasn't denigrating Brian's
filePro ability in _any_ way... But Brian has been coding in filePro, when
he does, for probably only 4 or 5 years. Howie on the other hand... well..
:-)  So, it was simply a nice comment about Howie, nothing more. I'm a
little offended that you couched it so differently. Jay, why do you feel the
need to do that kind of thing ALL the time.  It sure gets old... to me, at
least.
