Why are you wasting time programming in LV?  Your awesome skills at creating links inside your replies are truly going to waste.  True Lithium-Fu on display there, maybe they are hiring... 


Talk about a self-referential post - a sarcastic comment to a comment about sarcastic comments in a thread listing sarcastic comments 🙂 Douglas Hofstadter would be delighted, if he ever stooped to see such inanities.

 

Anyhow, the error was most certainly on the human side of the keyboard, not the Lithium end.  Touché.  Smiley Embarassed
