- You must have a very boring life.

- I started to reply to this bozo in Email but I decided he needed to
- be addressed in public.

- Stan is nearly blind. I've never asked him but I assume this qualifies
- as legally blind.
-
- He works at the computer by placing his eye about 1 inch from the monitor.
- When he works on something that matters such as code or documentation, he
- spends a LOT of time getting it right and then has someone proof it.
- Your self-iportance notwithstanding, the net does not rate that level
- of care. Most of us are capable of reading around the errors. Why
- don't you try to learn?
-
- After watching him casually play with Dixie, I was absolutely
- amazed when he delivered high quality code to me in not much more time
- than it would have taken me. 'Nuff said.
