I hear people say not to multipost, does these mean not to ask the same
question in another group or to submit the question to all the groups via
the same submission, with multiple newsgroups in the "send to" box? Just a
curious question from someone who has only googled and altavista'd since the
beginning of time.

Hi One Handed Man,
The one in your wardrobe's a Doll not a Troll. She only looks so ugly
because you're supposed to blow her up first! ;-)
Sleep tight.

Which is why we shouldn't be so quick to punt them to other newsgroups when the question is VB.NET
related (e.g. Office automation, ADO.NET, etc.)

Hi Herfried,
|| In German, a "Troll" is somebody who
|| behaves in a foreign, stupid way.
No, we take our meaning from the Norse tales. And, more recently, from
Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld series.
You haven't read Terry Pratchett? You <must>!! Make a promise to yourself.
Essential reading. [continues to rave in a most disgustingly enthusiastic
manner - more than his love for .NET...]

Hi Herfried,
Fortunately Terry Pratchett's humour is timeless - you can enjoy it in
your sunset years.
Alternatively you could read a page or two a day when you go and 'sit on
the throne'. ;-)

I'm creating a common navigation bar of text "buttons" using CSS. On each
page, I want the corresponding button to be "inert" (no hover, etc) as a
visual clue to where you are.
I thought I'd include simple <p> tags, and style them the same way as the
<a> tags, but I can't get it to work - I get different margins in each case.
I've reduced the situation to the essentials here:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
