Too many users

lol - Mark does have that gift, I know, I have the scars to prove it.  ;-)

I try to read pass Mark's art of presentation and make every effort to 
gain the value off his responses;
not that I always find it (then again, Mark will quickly point out that 
my not finding a value on his responses
is further evidence of how [ you fill this blank ] I am).

Do not let Mark get under you skin - he is right, he is not going 
anywhere - and you are right, he enjoys
this but in the same token, he is often a dependable source of "how to 
..." and "how not to ...".

No one here is perfect and we all have something to share - some of us 
just need to come to terms with
the way some members come across and simply block the portion of their 
postings that feel like needles
pearceing your skin (or your pride).

Gees, if only I had a $1 for every instance Mark let me have it :-)

BTW, going to a different list for filePro stuff ain't gonna happen - 
this is it! This is the one leg the filePro
community is standing on.


PS: Do y'all know I am an "expert" in developing web based business 
applications?  Hit me up!!!  ;-)
