About yesterday's posting, in which I told Bob Reed that he was "arrogant"
for giving someone else a bad time about their code:

Perhaps I was overly harsh; if so I'd like to apologize to Bob. I
certainly wouldn't ever have taken the time and effort to analyze
and explain the original "anti-jaggie" code for everybody; I appreciate
that Bob did do it. 

My problem is just that I hate to see anybody *ever* discouraged from making 
postings. That the poster is not satisfactorily expert in what they're talking 
about is an especially poor reason. Who ever is "expert"?

Anyhow, I consider any posting which elicits information, such as a request 
for references, to be just moderately worthwhile for me to read. On the other
hand, I find a posting which stimulates or continues a discussion to be the
most worthwhile. By that standard, the original poster (Steve Hawley) 
obviously wins :-)  Wish there were *more* give-and-take discussions on 
this group, and more code. Both apprentice-level and wizard-level.
