Actually, I don't think Ken was mistaken, I think he was quoting the 
article in question...


"Writing like a l33t script kiddie hax0r is the absolute kiss of death 
and guarantees you will receive nothing but stony silence (or, at best, 
a heaping helping of scorn and sarcasm) in return."


(Which, by the way, I had read before my original post. It's very good. 
I like it. Everyone should follow it. But in the real world, or maybe 
just this list, we generally cut people some slack. Maybe that's because 
the volume of messages on this list is not that great, although some 
people are pretty wordy and occasionally the signal to noise ratio is 
pretty low. Or maybe it's because we're all one big, extended family of 
filePro users, hopefully not the last of a dying breed. But maybe we 
are. So let's stay civil.)
