   I know, and I'm sure bernard knows that as well.   That was not the issue,   
   nor that he thought of his own way to solve it (even though it appears to be   
   just sourcecode eye candy).   
      
      
   What is is not responding to a straight-forward questions (I *still* have   
   not heard why that "maximum # of arguments" count should be on the stack   
   for, or if its even there to begin with and not just a mistake by Mike), as   
   well as remarks toward its general functioning.   
      
   I'm a newsgroup citizen for long enough to recognise that kind of behaviour   
   (refusal to listen or respond to anything that does not support their   
   particular vision I mean), and rather dislike it (nothing good has ever come   
   from conversations with such individuals).   I guess it shows.
