No problems Joe, it's a slow day, time for philosophical debate <g>.

I just beg to differ, to my reading he wasn't clear enough for me to make
any assumptions. I either ignored him, or prodded him, I chose to prod <bg>.

As to the Indiana Jones quote, I am afraid that went straight over <ebg>.

BTW I am shocked to see you admitting to doing this for several decades. We
are supposed to be coming over as bright young things with sharp minds, not
a bunch of doddering old fogies (tbbgicm>.

As you wrote elsewhere: "I agree, the spec was a little ambiguous, so
I made an assumption. Unfortunately, as I am sure that you know, that
is something that we (have
to) do very often in trying to give these solutions <g>".

I fully agree that mindreading is a required art in order to help
people with programming problems. I have been doing it for several
decades. It is little wonder that they cannot find solutions on their
own when they are unable to articulate the problem clearly. But in
this case, I think the OP was reasonably clear; just not sufficiently
complete.

Exactly my point, my response was intended to stimulate more information
about the problem.

To paraphrase the knight in the third "Indiana Jones" adventure: "He
chose unwisely" :-).

(Don't take that as harsh criticism. I am in a fanciful mood.)
