This answer rocked. Not only got what I needed, but got some other
little custom tweaks. Thus, I tipped appropriately (15%, even if I
didn't get table service...).

The concept of what I asked for and the answer I got is interesting. I
think it really went above and beyond what I thought I could get out
of GA. (An no, it wasn't a homework problem or something I'd run off
and sell commercially; it was just something I need for a project). 
Very, very neat.  I love the internet.

I hear logical answers that come from common sense and millenia of
human history and I know what I should be doing, ie. accecepting it
and moving on, but the heart want different from the head.
What j_philipp-ga answers is typical of the best intentioned get up
and keep going brigade and must be correct (other's comments agree).
I am satisfied with the answer, I got what I wanted from this
experiment (a feeling that there is someone to talk to).
Thanks for everyone's advice and I will try stop idealising her and
the past relationship and try to create a little more room in my heart
everyday for other possibilities. Bye.

Heart then :-) heh. Cheers j_p!

It was basicly OK, but I needed much more info as I said in my question.
In case more money was needed I preffer to know that than getting a paritial answer

The "Answer Clarification" was a great piece of research.  Thanks!

I am quite disappointed with the answer's quality.

Although the researcher used sound strategies like picking clues from
my submitted brief, linguistic approach and logical access to some
limited web resources, yet it is clear that it was done in hast, in a
lets-get-it-out-of-the-way manner. No innovation is evident in coming
up with 'smart' names or in coming up with web links of real value.

My posted fee of $20 may have been on the lower side, yet what I got
isn't worth much. Can't recommend the service as it stands.

To Philipp, great work, fast response and choices. More is coming.

You have exceeded even my highest expectations.

However, I've had to cancel my trip to Zurich because I've been
summonsed to Baghdad.

Apparently, there's some trouble brewing.

Please Keep Setting the Standards that your fellow (and ? what's the
feminine equivalent?) researchers try to emulate!

Gut morgen, mein Herr!

Ich bin ein Engelander und Ich wohne in Engeland.

But, let's face it, my German's lousy, corrupted by having lived for 5
years in Holland.

Now, I am perfectly fluent in a concoction of several languages that
nobody understands except moi.

I am an early riser ... 5 a.m every day of the week. Always have been.

I've been to Kuala Lumpur but I never saw you anywhere.

I have given a flight plan to my pilot.

Prost!

Hi, J_Philipp!

Many thanks for responding so promptly and for the excellent trawl
that you have carried out.

Unfortunately, you haven't fingered the man that I had in mind, but
maybe the name will come back to me before I go completely mad.

However, I hadn't realised that phrase was so well worn.

I am therefore delighted to award you FIVE TWINKLERS.

I would have sent you some Virtual Vintage Australian Chardonnay as
well but the last of our stocks was shipped out to either Missy or
Pinky ... I can't remember which.

Note to Missy and Pinky: If there's any left, please send some to j_p.

Many thanks.

Thanks. The information provided was very helpful and has helped me in
my recommendation to my colleges

Hi, j_philipp, or whoever you are

Or, better still: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Thank so much for analysing the situation for me so fully ... You have
put my mind at rest so, in addition, to 5 Twinklers, I am going to
send you a conatiner full of VV (Vintage Virtual) Australian
Chardonnay.

Please feel free to share this around ... There'll be plenty more at
the Masked Ball.

Thank you again for your answer to my clarification.
I think your opinions are interesting although I probably would not
agree
on a couple of point. Namely that attention spans would decrease. I
think that
they would be more tuned to issues relevant to the individuals and
because of the nature of their relevance the person would have to
focus more time and attention on those issues. Also, while I agree
that face to face (tactile) communication may diminish slightly, I
think its importance will actually increase. While online, you always
have a way out, you can turn the chat off, can disappear from a
newsgroup..etc..etc, but by deciding to meet face to face the person
shows that they are more honest about their feelings in those
situations.
Again I thank you for your answer but (and it may be my imagination,
and forgive me if I am wrong) but it seemed to me that your personal
view towards some of these possible changes had a negative undertone.
For example the way you worded "be less respectful to authority" gave
me the impression that you would not like to see some of those
changes.
Despite that, I do not believe that internet will remain in its
current state for long as i mentioned before. Authority will find its
way into this medium and with the introduction of such changes as ENUM
proposes the ideas about anonymity on the net will have to be
rethought.
But this is why google answers is such an interesting medium. You can
always hypothesise.

Thanks

Well, thanks a great deal for a great answer.
First of all, you went to a lot of trouble--and it all helped, believe
me.
2nd, you clarified exactly WHY the 2000 system is such a mess, and
undersanding WHY helps me to deal with it, definitely. After thinking
about what you said, I suspect the best approach for me is to use ONE
major document folder, keep it on the desktop, and have ALL my data
inside it. I'll treat it as a ROOT directory, that is (and I'll
probably call it that). Then, I will IGNORE all the other folders that
the system creates to confuse things. I will not go look inside the
"documents and settings" or "user" or administrator or whatever.

I will also check for the creation of 'My music" or 'my picutres" or
'my cheeseburgers' or whatever that might be created without asking by
other programs, periodically. (I'll try to search through some likely
folders, but will also do a search for "My *.*" periodically.

Third, you have clarified what those *.INI files are doing in there,
in data folders. If I understand you correctly, they contain nothing
but "preferences" for viewing the folder, and if I don't HAVE any
special preferences, I can just delete those too.

Many thanks. 

Incidentally, I'm about to submit a question about dealing  with long
file names, if you're looking for more heroic answers.

Thanks!

j_philipp, your code does just what I want - thank you very much; I'd
become rather frustrated with this!
