    That's only part of the picture which by itself isn't very impressive or eye opening. These things I speak of are realizations that stretch back over a decade for me. I cannot possibly cover 10 years worth of lessons, observations, research, introspection and eureka moments in just a few posts. There is just way too much to cover. All I can say is that some people eventually start to get it and some people are content accepting the delusions until they die. Neither choice is good or bad. It's only a question of whether you can live with your decisions. Plenty of people can live just fine never knowing how the world really works.

    EDIT:

    You can listen to the late George Carlin or interviews of boxer-turned-business man Andrew Tate. They don't come close to covering everything but they do a far better job of explaining some of the things I'm talking about better than I ever could.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    There's just no reason to use garbage like InputBox. - jmcilhinney

    The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber
