Re: Parameter Object really necessary?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I don't personally care as long as the question is answers. But to dispise
a perfectly good answer and complain about only a top/bottom post is plain
rude. It gets the entire off topic almost instantly and can almost forget
about much meaningful talk afterwards. Nonetheless, I saw your post that he
mentioned and I didn't have to scroll to read it. Everything was fine. It
could just be the particular reader he was using.


Thanks,
Shawn
