I'm not trying to insult you, but I do have less respect for people not willing to say who they really are. An anonymous person can say things with impunity that would result in bad consequences for that person if he were identified. This makes anything said anonymously more suspect than something said by a person willing to stand behind it. Not identifying yourself when speaking is cowardly, and there is nothing new about this view. Clearly John Hancock would agree if he were here today. **In my opinion** calling yourself "ThePicMan", "PicDude", "Engineering Info", and the like is mildly pretentious and a bit arrogant. But of course you can do what you want. I'm only telling you how I perceive it. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
