You don't see this?, with the mangled commas and quote marks? <http://home.comcast.net/~esionder/temp/article1.png> This looks the same using both Firefox 3.6 and IE8 on both my XP and Vista computers. It also looks just as bad in Firefox running in Ubuntu Linux in a Sun Virtual Box session in Vista, If that's not what you see, that's very odd!

From: Bob Donald on 20 Mar 2010 01:07 Yeah, looks screwy on the post further down, where you are explaining it all. Funny, I remember when this thread started over there, just never remembered the name. A couple of those guys sure were being jerks, werent they?

From: Here In Oregon on 20 Mar 2010 16:20 Rick, Sue. It is nice knowing there are people in the world like you both. If catastrophe ever strikes again I now know who our country will turn to. With that said, I read what you both wrote many, many times and understand maybe half of it. You both are programmers among many other things and it is amazing for me to see talent on a level that my tiny mind could never even imagine to comprehend. Just a few questions. You are both human right? Your parents were real smart? They got you guys interested in music as small children? They say that's how the mind really develops early on. You both went to private school and then on to MIT? Never doubt or degrade yourselves again on this forum. You both have made me feel utterly stupid today and I am now depressed and think I will go back to bed. <g> Thank you both though.
