As I've already explained, the indentation was originally there... You know, when someone asks a question in an area where I'm skilled, I don't attempt to make them feel like an idiot. I either answer the question, or politely explain why I can't answer it - or, if I simply don't feel like being bothered, I don't post a response at all. "Newbies" have to learn somewhere - as far as I know, there is no one on this planet who was born with complete knowledge of Ada, C++, COBOL, or any other language. I think it's very sad that people who want to learn can't afford to ask a question of experienced users because of the risk of being ridiculed.
