Just so you can prove how smart you are? > Oh good grief. I thought this was clear based on the context of the discussion, but apparently not. Let me clarify: "it's only validly urgent to the person posting and everyone else really doesn't give a damn ABOUT HOW URGENT THE POSTER THINKS THEIR PROBLEM IS" Is that clearer? I post on here because I like to help out, where I think I can, since if and when I post a question myself, I'd like to get help in turn. If you check my posting history, you'll see that 95% of threads I respond to are in an effort to help. You may not like my sarcastic smart-ass style but I'm not going to change how I reply because a few people are easily offended by what a random idiot on the internet has to say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
