Andrew was doing his usual haze the newbies thing that at times tempts
to me have contract put out on him.

It is no wonder newbies snap back at his needlessly sharp barbs.

However my comments about not complaining about responses to requests
for help no matter how socially inept still stands.

I saw no comment from Andrew about the poster, only the code. And he had a point.

I agree with you, Roedy. Even to the rudest of posters it is more high-minded to respond high-mindedly. I just don't think we should rename this group comp.lang.java.dont.step.on.my.namby.pamby.feelings.
