Please make sure you take off your rose-colored glasses before you make such statements. Personally, I like Rick and Karsten (he has a few things there too)(and those two and I have had a few (numerous?) rounds of arguments, elsewhere), I just have to make sure you understand. These two people are very good at pointing out problems. Very good at solving problems. Very good at explaining things at length. Very good a pointing out non-compliance at certain, traditionally done things. But, there is a point where you have to start thinking on your own about this type of thing. Making good judgment calls with things like Rick's and Karsten's articles as references... Making sure the way things are done are repeatable and understandable to you. Blanket statements are really too broad, even Linus Torvalds has his own way of doing things, you should too. As long as the outcome is what YOU want... therein lies the lesson. If you do things in a way you understand and is (subjectively)"good practice", you should have little to worry about. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Tus ojos me piden agarrarte por el cuello y exprimirlo.
