PLASMA:
Ok, let's not make this into a personal issue.
To review the 3 points:
1) I got started off on the wrong foot on this one because I didn't realize it was a joke. Sorry.
2) The "common" method turns out not so common when you use CINT and INT to round, specially for negative numbers. A programmer who's thinking in terms of the "common" method and who does not fully test using CINT and INT, will come to a rude awakening when the user complains that the rounding is not "common".
3) I misunderstood you on this one.
In summary, joke or no joke, in all honesty I don't feel that your participation in the thread added any insight, contribution, or better undersanding of the subject for those of us involved. That's why I labelled your comments as "off-the-wall". I was reacting defensively. If I offended you in any way, I apologize. If you want to consider me as "Captain Badass", that's your choice.
