<<Again, I would thank you not to make unfounded and inaccurate statements about my character. You are making us *all* look bad with your childish behavior.>> Which is what started the whole thing in the first place. I know I went a little overboard... I have a bad temper. As for childish, you were the epitome of that when you attacked me for nothing. It's like two guys in a lemonade stand fighting over who pours the cup. I'm trying to end it but I also don't want you to get the last word because you ridicule me. <<<The help request was for general sequence I/O to files. You shouldn't hand an "advanced" anything to a beginner without at least mentioning the basics.>>> Actually I took the liberty to assume that he already knew about the standard functions. So I recommended it to him. And personally I don't think mine are any harder to use than the standard functions... mine just handles all the work for you. When the message is titled " " then it seems to me like he needs something to handle multiple sequences. So therefore I thought my library was perfect for the occasion. It was written to fill a need, not to promote me. For you to even think the contrary tells me something about YOU. <<You have turned this into a "big deal" with your repeated postings and childish behavior.>> I have a right to defend myself. I haven't shown any childish behaviour except losing my temper and overkilling the subject. Again I apologize. (By the way, have you apologized any?) As for the competition, get real. I don't care. I'm not trying to win prestige points or smiley faces. It would be nice, but not important to me. I'd be more satisfied if the guy who needed help found what he needed. I accused you of trying to compete because it seemed logical. Lets see, you didn't want to work with me. I was willing to make it compatible with your functions, remember? I said I couldn't wait for you to add support for something that I can't remember now. You're working on your own library. Then you attack me for even mentioning mine. Is it not fair that if you accuse me of something, I can do the same? <<<> I've figured it out though... Ralf wrote EDOM, he attacked me. Gabriel is >writing his own, he attacked me. My guess is that they're working together >(or there is some hidden agenda) and will soon have a pretty good file IO >library out. I'll be the better man and suggest the following. Good luck. >If it's better than random.e, then good. We've made progress. I don't care >who gets the credit. <ROTFLOL>!!!!!>>> Are you serious? That little part about you and Ralf getting together and writing a file IO library was only a joke! I just thought it was funny that I was attacked on consecutive guys but two guys who both wrote file IO libaries. Once it hit me that we all had that in common, I threw that in there. But nice to see you chew it up and continue to make me look bad. Real nice. Maybe someone one day will explain the concept of humor to you. I apologize for going overboard on that one letter. I admit I have a kind of bad temper and let it go there. And Ralf, sorry for even grouping you with some of the comments that were mostly intended for Gabriel. Actually, your not so bad yourself and I understand why you complained about the spam. Well, maybe we can put this behind us... it seems you're willing unlike someone else I know. Derek Brown
