>can we get now back to normal programming.  please?

Frankly, I'm pretty disillusioned by what seems to pass for "normal
programming" these days ... is it just me or has the camaraderie that I/we
once enjoyed been diminished of late?  The discussions seem to have gotten a
lot less technical and the discussees often seem to be a lot less informed
than they were back in '93 or '94, when I first started reading and/or
contributing to the Q-list.  While I don't mind sharing my knowledge with
others, over the years, I've grown to resent doing their homework for them.
I also don't like getting bogged down in discussing basics when my personal
interest lies in the more advanced and arcane aspects of a subject and I
especially don't enjoy getting caught up in the childish and petty antics
that seem to be occuring ever more frequently around here.

Like I said, though, maybe it's just me...  :^(
