Okay - thanks -I'll check that forum out. I've looked at it the past - I thought I created an account but it won't let me in. If you get around to it, could you PM me my log-in? In any event - I hope it's okay to talk about Access and VB under the GENERAL CHAT heading. I do have some...

HEY GUYS - THANKS FOR THE HELP!!! Stewart - your code may be better, and I thank you greatly, but for some reason it does not work. I'm not sure why, but your code would not compile. I was getting errors such as "External Reference Not Found" in the line: MyString =...

Maybe Stewart can help me here. OR ANYBODY PLEASE! Sorry if this question is in the wrong place - i just need some help. I have a field in a table defined as a number, with 2 fixed decimal places. When I convert it to a string, it's fine as long as the decimals are not zero. In other...

I can't narrow it down to just one single quality. It's all that you said. But to discuss some specifics, I would say it is how Steinbeck breaths life into his characters - and as you follow them for years, feel that they are characters in your own life. The incredible clarity of his images...

Thanks, friends. Greatly appreciated. Hugs - Marc

Dread Pirate Roberts: You're that smart? Vizzini: Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Dread Pirate Roberts: Yes. Vizzini: Morons.

After (sort of) standing up for him and his book, I must admit I was pleased that the whole deal fell through. Ions was right - I retract my statements. He should rot in HELL (OJ, not ions).

Aqua- I've yet to "discover" Hemmingway. I'll be sure to read him soon. For now, Grapes of Wrath is the only other book I can put up there with East Of Eden. Hey, how about that - Steinbeck again. The best short book ever? Of Mice and Men. Whoops, Steinbeck again. Of course, this is all...

There may be other threads about this book. I'm pretty certain there are. In that case a moderator will squelch this post and relegate it to the end of some forgotten thread out there, where it will languish in obscurity. But before he does, I want to make a point. This could be the best...

I should have said, I avoid doing something merely because everyone else is doing it, rather than implying that I avoid doing it only because everyone else is.

The Shooting of Dan McGrew That's if you like westerns - which I do.

I'm not knocking anyone that adores those smileys. That's because I don't knock people unless they knock first. Me, well, I NEVER use them. Seems to me that if I need a smiley to express myself, I've failed linguistically. If I write a tongue in cheek remark, or perhaps offer some dry humor...

No joke, I just caught you on a technicality. I'm very precise, you see. For the life of me, though, I don't know what you find so unworthy or embarrassing in my post. Disagree with it if you want, but don't try to make me feel stupid, buck-o. And another thing: It may be that I sometimes...

Ions, I agree with you there, unequivocally. However, before you wrote that, you should have taken note that the first few lines of my post were written by you.

If you buy a book you are primarily supporting your mind. For some reason you think this is all about money. Well, you also have the option to borrow a book from a library and make no purchase. Of course, then the library has supported the murderer, and you are supporting the library. What a...

It has nothing to do with supporting a murderer. It has to do with curiosity. The Hitler analogy was pretty good - I thought. I was thinking it myself, as a matter of fact. Of course the Nazi party benefits when we buy and read such books - the books propogate the ideology of the party. I...

I didn't know that, Stewart. Still, Hawking is an example of a severely disabled individual that has a lot to offer. But maybe he is NOT a good example, because people have the right to live regardless of what they have to offer. The vast majority of individuals, handicapped or not, do not...

I can't support it. The potential downside is far worse than the potential value of such a program. There are enough prenatal tests to make the decision before the birth. Once born, the baby is a full fleged human being, with all associated rights and privilages. Sure, you say severely...

Yes - an amazing display of verbal stupidity. It's hard to pinpoint which of the statements is the worst - since they're all so bad. Each has a different characteristic of repugnance. Earl Butz' statment was cruel and nasty; Tex Antoine's was insensitive; Al Campanis' was moronic; Ben...
