Once again, I think we need to cut James some slack. I think what is important here is remembering what everyone's personality and style here is when they post.
For instance, I knows that Indy is technologically brilliant and his posts are generally so far over my head, I need a hot air balloon to understand them. But, his contributions are immense, and he is not afraid to dumb down his statements when I ask.
JBS always has something incredible to add even if it is at the expense of me, lol. (And, no, you don't need to compliment me on that one.
And, John simply can't write a bad post.
As for me, I either am very helpful and add a post and a download that took hours or I am so opinionated that I have to correct the same premise in the same thread at least five times to the point where I am sure each poster wants to ban me from the thread.
I have stated at least a million times that coding can take a lot longer than even the author thought and that Dr. Bertman should come on and say so. I have also stated that it is not missing the deadlines that get Jon into trouble, it's stating them in the first place. But, I don't think my thoughts come across sharp enough.
Then James articulates why code can be so different, albeit it comes across a little self serving, but all in all, it shows us average users how difficult coding is. Hell, it takes me a day to write a script.
So, I look at James and think, OK here comes a post that may be a little self serving, but 1) that is not intentional and 2) it is very helpful. James does something that a lot of us don't do. He goes back and reads his posts and reiterates what he says if the feedback warrants it. He also lacks the perspective of using AC and, therefore, being less frustrated than the rest of us.
I, personally, take some of his posts with a grain of salt just like I imagine most of you take mine with the entire Morton's salt container.
Personally, I am going to one day ask James for a batch file or script.
So, let's go easy on him, realize his intentions are good and not be so judgmental. I will still pick apart his posts when I find them to calumniatory.
