Absolutely, and I feel that I fit in nicely here.

Listen. I never said, "Use this NOW or I will DOS your dialup from multiple
sites" or anything like that. I just suggested it as a viable solution to your
needs. With the response I received, YOU seem like tha asshole here. And
thanks, by the way, for not quoting the parts of my post which explained the
thought process behind my response.

I don't recall DM saying "I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY SOFTWARE THAT I DID NOT
WRITE MYSELF." If he were to make such a blanket statement as that, I would
indeed wonder why he does his development under Windows.

Oh, by all means, don't worry about ME trying to help YOU. Since this is a
PUBLIC forum, though, perhaps someone WHO IS INTERESTED IN SOFTWARE THAT THEY
DID NOT WRITE will read the post (that I wasted my 'breath' writing) and give
it a shot. And perhaps enjoy it, much as I did...

.... And possibly not even bitch about me taking the time to describe it.

.... But since we are birds of a feather, I doubt it.

(just curious... If you were in a public place, carrying a large object, and
someone held a door open for you... Would you scream at them for doing it
BECAUSE YOU AREN'T INTERESTED IN DOORS THAT YOU DIDN'T OPEN YOURSELF?)

Yep, that's what I thought.
