You IT guys are brutal....have some sympathy.......if we were all as smart as you in this stuff, we wouldn't need you. And you'd be out of work. [:D]

No, it's the whole "tell me how to do it, I can't be bothered to look" thing. There's a WHOLE thread devoted to that subject. And not even an acknowlegdement of thanks.

Well I certainly have to agree with you , there's absolutely no excuse for not showing gratitude. But it is amazing how obtuse some of us can be on instructions. I can barely turn on my computer without a "dummies guide" and WITP has no dummies guide. The people who designed this thing are extremely knowledgable. But they have a problem "dumbing down" their answers. Dixie can tell you the incredible hassle it was for him to help me install the sig banner that he so kindly made for me. And I wouldn't have an avatar without Mynok. And after all those folks did , I still would not have those if Yuri didn't noticed that I didn't have enough space in the code. [8|]

I currently have 4 Matrix games that pretty much set on the shelf. That's because only the WITP forum has folks that will help me out. And none of them are paid by Matrix, which makes their kindness and understanding even more exceptional.[&o]

Luddites, they're still out there [:D]

Well, Steve, i feel sorry for you . [:(] ; keep the faith, old boy.


If you feel that bad, then why don't you and your spouse come out and visit us?[:D]

Damn, Steve, i could not even tell where Nebraska is in the whole USA....i would guess "somewhere in the north, near west coast", but i could be wrong....[;)]

It's one of those square states who's major purpose is to keep the other square states from bumping into each other![:D]


It's geographically dead center in the middle of the USA. Which is why it was chosen to be headquarters for the Strategic Air Command (now absorbed by Strategic Command, the reason my spouse has orders there) during the cold war.

Of course in two years I'll probably be back in either Washington DC or Jacksonville Florida so you might want to put off your visit till then , unless you really like steak,corn and horses! [:D]

Simon, I laughed when I read your post there. Sadly, I believe your sarcasm was completely lost on the original poster. [:D]

No, it's the whole "tell me how to do it, I can't be bothered to look" thing. There's a WHOLE thread devoted to that subject. And not even an acknowlegdement of thanks.

I want to see this thread. Come round to my house and type in the address for me Simon.

It's not one of our more charismatic states. The state motto is something like Corn fueled fury or Nebraska! Enjoy our flatness.

Good luck with that transfer Steve.

What will be really difficult for me is that it's a USAF base. The last two USAF bases that I was stationed at , Andrews AFB and Lajes AFB , well , lets just say that I remain incognito when I visit them! [:D] Some people just don't have any sense of humor. Then , there that time in 1979 when my whole flight crew got in trouble at Minot AFB . My squadron was permanetly banned after THAT airshow! [:D]

I don't suppose Simon, that there is any way a person could show his appreciation for the help by sending a bottle of Highland Park, is there?[:D]

Yes there is, and it would be appreciated in all senses of the word.

PM me with the details how (US Mail prohibts sending of alcohol, as you know from having lived here) and we'll see what we can do![:)]
