Still I think I don't want to let this thread stand in public as if Andrew had scared me away :-).

I, personally, think you just overstepped the line there and deserved my answer to that. I won't pretend you were "rude". My message to you was essentially about wether you really think that attitude will help you to get more answers in future. Since you refused advice and really started to throw around accusations (a rather childish reaction in my opinion), I do not think I could help you there. As I said, I'm still working on the right code to get that message across to some kinds of usenet posters. > When you offer an apology for that then you'll be ready to graduate to > bigger and better things. Overall I think you take all this much too serious. This is not a game of a sort you have to win by forcing others to apologize to you. Furthermore if it were so, your moves would be extraordinarily inept. Allow me to demonstrate: > It will be interesting to see how far you will go to cover up your > condescending attitude and tone. No matter how you sugar coat it; > whether it be under the pretense of an experiment, or some story from > your journal or if you hide behind an excuse like being treated like > service personnel then you're still being condescending. Yes, I'm condescending. So what? My suggestion would be, that you calm down and we just forget that episode. Note that I have not insisted on an apology from you and still don't, also to make it possible to you just to forget this whole thing. Everyone can slip up now and then :-) (so can I, I'm no angel myself). I'm sure that after a number of reasonable posts nobody will remember all this and I'm confident that most will still read you posts and answer your questions. I personally will welcome your contributions to c.l.a. If on the other side you still think you have an issue with me, I'm willing to discuss it, but I suggest you write me by personal e-mail and spare c.l.a. Regards -- Markus
