You are welcome.
And, as another off topic remark, I do enjoy the anonymity of the internet,
where people cannot tell how old you are, or what gender you are. At work, I
am often dismissed as being an older woman who cannot possibly understand
computers or databases. Far from being offended, I appreciate being
considered just "one of the guys" on this forum. There is certainly a sense
of informal teamwork here, that I find quite lacking at my place of
employment in these "formality of operation" days.
Kudos to all of the posters here. Good questions, interesting problems, and
well-thought-out answers.
And we're glad to see you here. I've long since gotten in the habit of
seeing a response from you in a thread and thinking "Well, that one's
well taken care of, no need to jump in" - unless I want to see what
you've done that's particularly clever.
It's just unfortunate that your real-life coworkers have such a
dimwitted attachement to their prejudicial attitudes. They're missing
out on some good ideas and (I'd guess) on a good friend.
Just remembering a couple of other friends - my former boss Anne, and
the formidable CompuServe sysop who called her self "Dot" Com, and
others: older women who were (like you) VERY much worth attention and
respect. You're in good company!
