Ok.

Let me get this straight.

I make a careful point of the fact that I am (and was) *NOT* saying
anything as abusive as "John; you self-important ass"...

and you yell at me *anyway*?

Ok.

Got it now.

Yeah, right; whatever.

Sorry to hear you think so, John.  I've been going out of my way lately
to kiss your ass; I guess you don't like my choice of lipstick color.

Nope.  Jeff's a little put out you were yelling at him for no good
reason, too.  I asked him.

Whatever suits you, John.

See?  There you go making unwarranted assumptions again.

If I hated filePro, I wouldn't waste any energy on it.

But asserting that I hate it serves your argument.  You won't be
reading this, since you've said you're deleting my messages, but I
didn't want to let the incorrect assertion stand for those who actually
care.

And the most deeply nested SQL subquery *you've* written lately was...?

You know, I've done mostly the same work for mostly the same clients
for almost 25 years now.  I'm guessing that if *those people who
actually know me* thought I wasn't any good at it, they'd have stopped
giving me work.

You're not entitled to an opinion; stuff it.

Someone else suggested I need therapy?  See what happens when I file
threads unread?
