That was a rhetorical question, which I've answered right in the post. I can't and wouldn't tell him my opinion, especially since I've been there, done that and I know that it won't contribute to anything - he wouldn't stop until dead anyway. In a way it's pretty similar to giving advice to people hopelessly in love with the wrong person. They'll listen, they'll agree and then next day they'll be back after the person who makes them suffer. I am helping him out, with advice and now with some code, but I cannot help him enough, because I've got my own things going, a family, children, etc. But point taken, good advice. thank you.
