Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base DB Connections

Hi :)  
Thanks :)  I think most of the trick with html is to use it for what it is good for and find other 
tools to do anything else you might need.  

People often seem to want a single tool to do everything but in the outside world they wouldn't 
expect to be able to use their soup-spoon to empty the bilges of a sinking boat (unless it was a 
very tiny boat) and neither of those tools would be great for stirring paint with (it makes the 
soup taste funny).  Finding the right tool for the right job and getting the different tools to 
work together is most of the trick.  

Regards from 
Tom :)
