Daniel, I have no doubt that Sybrand knows his stuff and I totally agree with your comments. However, this does not give him the right to be judgmental and be making statements such as "but you seem to like wasting your time and your boss money". Part of being ethical and responsible is to stick to professionalism and constructive critism and not resort to offensive tactics. Most people who are using the newsgroup are doing so to learn. For the timid users, responses such as Sybrand's may scare them away from coming back to the newsgroup which may be their only convenient resource for learning.
