Hi Cor, Herfried,
|| This is a VB.NET language group*. Notice* that you will ***

* This is what we do.
* You're not <wrong> to be here but.
* There are better places.
* Here is the better place.
* If you remember this, it will be easier next time.
|| This one I find very nice.
Thank you, Cor, so do I.
|| It is short and direct.
It's not as soft and sweet as my adapted wordy reply - it's the perfect
in-between.
|| I got it from your [Herfried's] post.
And, therefore, thank you Herfried.
Regards,
Fergus

Hi Cor,
|| Is it possible to wait with OT's that are discussable
|| if it is an OT 12 hours (to overcome the timezones).
|| (And that is all Fergus wants I think).
Yes, I'd like that
|| Can we have the dicipline when it is real an OT question, not
|| to answer it directly or only if it can be done with one sentence?
I'm not sure I understand this. Do you mean for us to not give an answer?

Hi Armin,
|| There is simply no reason to hide the name
Isn't there? Does a nickname only <hide> or can it <reveal> too?
|| - unless the one has been up to something.
That's perhaps a bit of a limited view?
|| a nick name is often childisch
In Britain, and many other places, I'm sure, 'childish' and 'fun' can be
applied to the many behaviours. I'm very grown-up at times and I'm very
'childish' at times. I have a lot of fun. For many people, having a nickname
is an amusement - not a cover. There are some people for whom their nickname
is more 'real' that their actual name.
I had a query-conversation with a chap calling himself NewbyDewby. He
chose Newby because it represented his newness to VB.NET. He added Dewby
because it rhymed. Rhyming adds amusement value. It was also his way of
saying - Don't be hard on me, I'm a nice guy and I'm new to this game.
NewbyDewby is a perfectly valid name to come into the group with. And I
understood his intention with it. Eventually I asked him his real name but
this was because our conversation was extended and I do prefer a real name in
a longer exchange and because I find NewbyDewby awkward to type.
Some people use nicknames because they are lazy. I don't condone that -
I'd rather have a real name. The person calling himself "e" maybe in that
category. But he may have a valid reason for it. It may, for example, be a
childhood nickname. I don't presume to judge.
|| a nick name is often childisch because grown-ups
|| usually know that they can be behind there statements.
I'm not sure what this means but if I've got it right, a person with a
nickname can also stand behind their statements. I think that it's the
willingness to stand rather than the name used.
|| somebody meets you and says "hi, I'm xqy", you would say: huh??
Lol. Actually I'd say "Hi Ecksquwee - that's an unusual name" and start a
conversation about it. ;-)

Fergus

Yes, to give time to others to give an answer, this are topics "very much in
between",
I normaly think they get a reference (like Herfried did make and seen in our
other post) before that time.
When you now see the Jeremy Cowles answers you expode I think, wait a while
to answer them I did already with one.

Hello,
Jeremy uses "please" in his replies too. Really rude, even for (i
think) a native English speaker.

Hi Cor,
This is a VB.NET language group. Notice that you may
have a better chance to get an answer if you post
to the XXX newsgroup in future.
You can say 'will probably' or 'may', but 'may probably' is like saying
'possibly probably' - so I've taken out the 'probably'.
What's the code for a <really big smile - happy not amused>?
Cheers, Cor,
Fergus

Hi Fergus,
I tried to follow your text litary, but I did not see this what you wrote,
you did probably mean "may or "will probably" but I find this sentence now
nicer. I did see that Armin and Herfried changed there style of answering.
So you had success. Now we need to bring this text at Armin
(Herfried will read it, that is no problem)
And find a way to stop Jeremy, that is real terrible to our standards.

¤ As Herfried suggested, you should ask in the Word VBA group because it is a

As I've suggested to Herfried on one other occasion, very few Office developers
work with any of the .NET languages and many would not be aware of the
automation idosyncrasies inherent in .NET. On the flip side there are quite a
few Visual Basic developers who have worked with Office automation and would be
able to provide an appropriate answer.
I see absolutely no problem answering the question here or referring them to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.interop if they don't receive a prompt answer.

It's COM automation with VB.NET or C# and that means interop. He may get a VBA answer but if you've
worked with Office automation then you know that it often won't port directly to a VB.NET solution
without some modification.
And no the answer is not language independent. The solution is specific to VBA and the .NET language
under which the interop occurs.
