RE: 3440:Operation not supported when trying to read an IFS File.

Personally, I think it would be a tremendous loss for you to usubscribe
Scott.  I think a lot of the issues of this type is "ego-centric".
Personally I have met very few programmers "worth their salt" that do
not tend to think of their programming efforts as a personal "work of
art" or as their "babies".  (note I include myself in this group...)

But I also know (as I'm sure most of us here do) that none of us really
know everything there is to know (else we wouldn't be here).  I could
leave this list & hardly be missed....but the Klement, Cozzi,
Gibbs,(sorry I can't name everyone...) et al. would be an end to a very
useful resource.  I subscribed to these lists more so to learn (which I
have...a lot) & contribute my trifling knowledge when able.


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Sorry about that, I shouldn't have said that. I definitely don't feel
that 
way about you. I've always thought that you are clever -- so I don't
even 
know where that came from.

Oh, I don't think that's fair.  Seems to me that there are a TON of
people 
both asking and answering questions on this forum.  The volume can 
sometimes be difficult to manage.

But, you're right, doing stuff like that isn't good for the forum.  I 
probably should unsubscribe.  The amount of time I spend here is just 
ridiculous, and I somehow always end up offending someone.  So, it's not

good for me, and it's not good for Midrange.com.  Why am I still here?
