[devilsadvocate]

When did that become an issue? I see nothing in this thread to discourage learning. Want to learn? Ask questions, don't pose feigned thought alleged to be contrary to your real opinion. No need to hide behind "devil's advocacy.

So is the issue that I have chosen "devilsadvocate" as a username? Then ignore that.

It is because I have put the Latin for "devilsadvocate" as my signature? Then ignore that.

I could have just as easily put "The question guy", and my signature could have been "I like to ask questions to understand the situations better."

Is that being "true to mine own self"? I suppose I could change it. But there wouldn't be much fun in that. And having fun is being true to myself.

Would I be getting any flack at all if I just used the username of "Eric Lambert", and simply did not have a signature?

It has surprised me that my post, which dealt with using 9.01c (that's 9.01c for you bluezebra), has gotten 5 responses, but my username and signature has generated three seperate posts!

Wait a little while before you judge "devilsadvocate". If your impression is based on a username and signature, then you have limited your criteria to the most superficial. I think that you will find that when I post "an opposite view for the sake of discussion" the ensuing discussion is generally worthwhile, and does enlighten the subject.

It's the "what" I post, not the "why" I post.
