    Please don't write anything which might insult someone. Its written in community guidelines.

    I was damn serious while starting this thread. I just want to know what's written in the first post.

    I believe English allows you to call anybody "them".
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    Don't worry. No guidelines are being breached, no one's being insulted and we all are having some time off.

    I just want to know what's written in the first post.
    You can call me anything.

    So your answer is "Man"?

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    It's General Discussion. If this was the C forum, it would have been a different story and I probably would have complained about the invalid syntax and given a compiler error.

    Anyway, to the OP: I'm at least 50&#37; of one of those choices... and the remainder of me is from a dimension of space beyond which you can comprehend... no offense. I would also like to mention that I am also exploring Mario's inner-woman... with my index and middle finger. *wikki wikki*
