in thread A better way to print

You may be right here, but the OPs code is _not_ broken and the OP does show a genuine attempt at getting "it right"

So I say give the OP a break.

Besides it did lead to a lively thread

    Honestly, this was not an attempt to knock OP, but more of a "why" deal, considering this is very very much covered in manuals. The idea was not to make an example of OP, god knows I have been told to RTFM before, but to make an example of the question... does this make sense?

      If you don't have anything positive to say to the 'OP', then maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. Especially after the question has been answered 6 hours before you post. Especially when ellem admitted being ashamed of asking the question.

      If you see a person changing their tire on the side of the road, do you stop and help or do you stop and say 'Hey! You got a flat!' and drive off?
