Food for Thought:

I thought I'd weight before I responded. But, having second thoughts I realized no one would swallow my remarks.

A weighty, subject, indeed.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I just realized I've passed the 150K rep mark Big Grin | :-D

So I guess I need some cheers, thumbs up, and additional upvotes to get me closer to OG Poke tongue | ;-P

Awesome way to start 2016 Cool | :cool:

Will you and @MacSpudster please decide which of you is supposed to be overtaking me?[^]

Have my small contribution to the fund... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

@MacSpudsterr needs to overtake me first, so until he does I'm overtaking you.

But you are giving rep to both Spud and me.
Make up your mind, by who do you want to be overtaken? Poke tongue | ;-P

That's the clever part. He gives upvote to two of you, and gets two upvotes in a return.

I don't believe OG is a programmer, I think (and I believe) he is some sort of businessman, who just "accidently" entered CodeProject and is defining the term, "I came, I saw, I conquered". Laugh | :laugh:

Am I close, OG?

Open up your command prompt and type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl"
You won't regret it Big Grin | :-D

Edit:
You'll need to enable telnet if you haven't done so already...

It wasn't much fun to be fair.
