    No prob.

    Little netiquette tip: In your replies, include a portion of the original message (a.k.a., "quoting") so that everyone knows what your responding to, especially if the reply comes a couple days or more later.

    L8R daze!

    Good advice. A portion. Not the full text. Unless it's short.

    Some people quote the full text of a long message and add a brief reply.
    When the first screen is all quoted text, I skip to the next message. No
    time for lazy quoters.

    Most BBS people are nice to meet. But you may encounter ill behaved
    bullies who think they run some kind of clique. Don't let them bother
    you. They're not your boss. There's only one boss on Dovenet. Digital
    Man.

    Pardon the long quote.

    Two of your lines made the first page. You hit it just right.

    LOL. That's me with C++ OOP abstractions. Plain C was easier.

    My only experience with C was a program called C- - .

    Played with that program a little bit many years ago but forgot how to use it.

    My first PC was a C=64, and I got familiar with BASIC.
    Played with LEGO for a while.
    Read books about ML but I'm not a coder.

    Wikipedia says something about C--. Not sure if that's what you mean.

    Not sure about ML either.

    I'm not a coder.

    It's a menial job but somebody has to do it.
