good luck
I used to travel the country back in the dot com days and build data warehouses. My problem is that I sort of remember what I did. When I include a module into the rewrite, I have to re-learn it.

Your losing year?

If you don't want opinions, then don't invite them...

And I'm probably going to lose another one.

Let see if I have this right. You have your vendors selling software for hundreds of dollars and charging big monthly sums for data without any proof of what they do, and I claim to have a losing year and you protest?

Posts like these are why Capper Al can NEVER be taken seriously.....You're starting to look like a fool on a constant basis.

You have to be kidding. What did I do or say to you? Most people need a reason to be provoked. Just feel let jump in there? go assume yourself somewhere else.

It's what you say to all of PA in your posts, and ReplayRandall is part of PA. I can read your posts and try to glean even one nugget of enlightenment, but it never happens with you. Those that respond to your posts offer advice and concepts that move the conversation forward. Of course, as usual, your response is clueless and "empty calories", just as if you've never read or contemplated what was uplifting and enlightening dialog from other posters. Bottom-line, MY criticism of you is well warranted and long, long overdue. Trust me, you had this coming to you in SPADES......I'm placing you where you belong,--->IGNORE.

Capper Al, dust yourself off, and be the bigger man. I have no idea what brought all this on. RR is entitled to his opinion. That ignore button works both ways, bro. It's actually kind of funny to me....I once got run out of an A.A. group--you know you've hit rock bottom when A.A. refuses you...and they take any derelict off the gutter.
Hang in there

Thanks for your support. Most of these heated guys just don't see that they are letting off steam. When I ask why or what provoked them, they usually skate the issue.

No heat - just light. Constructive criticism. Take it to heart.

Glad to hear this. All seems quiet in cyberspace for now. Now get your program finished.
