Lol, you and TNP are one of a kind. No surprise you get along so well.
And you haven't showed me better. As for posting code - just look back
through the history of this newsgroup.
Of course, you wouldn't know good code if you saw it, either.
Come to think of it, I now suspect you are just another 'nym for TNP.
Neither one of you is brave enough to use your real name!
