Are you blind, Greg?
"A person who is struggling with link commands such as you were is
quite
likely to be unaware of the need to type "./test". And since your
first
response completely missed the point of what I was saying, I thought
it
necessary to try again. "
Now who wrote that? Hmmm...looking at the author of the thread I have
to conclude that Dave wrote that. And is it before or after my thread?
By the looks of it it appeared well before mine. You say you have
trouble with people who try to assume the motives of other posters on
this board and you say nothing about what Dave posted before me. So,
if you want to stop acting like a bigot and sticking up for your
boyfriend, you should listen to my argument. He was responding to my
thread which assumed I wasn't bright enough to run my program using
proper syntax which is extremely condescending. I'd be happy to carry
this argument as far as you're willing.
