I have a couple of questions; I'd be grateful for some quidance:

A. Why does my C# DLL do the following:

1. expose (to VB 6.0) methods such as GetHashCode, GetType,, ToString etc
when I have not defined/exposed them.
2. I have an event exposed, MyEvent; amongs the methods exposed, I find
add_MyEvent and remove_MyEvent. Why? How can I use these? How can I
suppress (prevent them from appearing) them?
3. With VB6.0, I can use the 'Public WithEvents' route to handle the event;
how do I do the same in C#?

B. Is there a recommended template for building Interop DLLs using C#? I
find that depending on how I put it together, it works with some clients but
not others. For example, it might work with VB6.0 but not with VBScript. And,
I have never got any to work with VBA (Excel's). I have used both early and
late binding but the end result is the same.

Thanks for your help.

The universe of mass shooters is sufficiently small (compared to the
overall population) that no group or personality type can be said to be
"likely" to go postal. Still, "quiet loners" seem to be involved in an
inordinate number of these "stranger to stranger" mass shootings.

I suspect that's more just another symptom of the "quiet loner" syndrome.

Well, it's not as if anyone was going to hand him a machine gun and tell
him to go out and kill Muslims. He was a psychiatrist, for gawdsakes -
and rather unlikely to see anything at all which even resembled combat.

I mean, "Hawkeye" Pierce was not exactly a gung ho supporter of either
the war or the Army but still managed to function more than adequately
as an Army Surgeon.

He was a loaner because he was a devout Moslem and 98% of the country
couldn't relate to him. Why he was a loaner at his Mosque indicates
his personality problem and the failure of his Mosque to get him
connected.

True. The danger of blaming loners is that you end up mistreating
lots of people who just are not extroverts and who are quite good
citizens.

True but the probability of any given loner going postal is extremely
low. No need to suspect someone just cause he's a loner.

Huh? How many quiet loners preach against their country? And latest
information is that he was attempting to contact al Qaeda - and that
our intelligence people knew it but did not inform the army.

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fort-hood-shooter-contact-al-qaeda-terrorists-officials/story?...

I find it inexcusable that such potentially important information
would not be communicated to those who needed it.

Huh? His job involved helping keep soldiers morale up and helping them
stay focused on their job. He would be in a position to encourage
soldiers either to be good soldiers or to work against the cause they
are fighting for, even to order many sent home. Plus why would you
want to pay anyone to go into a combat zone if they want your side to
lose?

Say what? Hawkeye Pierce never did anything because he never
existed. Fantasy is fantasy.

....But relatives and acquaintances say tensions that led to the
rampage had been building for a long time. Investigators say Major
Hasan bought the gun used in the massacre last summer, days after
arriving at Fort Hood.

In recent years, he had grown more and more vocal about his opposition
to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and tortured over reconciling his
military duties with his religion. He tried to get out of the Army,
relatives said, and apparently believed it to be impossible, though
experts say he was probably given inadequate advice.

At times, he complained, too, about harassment, once describing how
someone had put a diaper in his car, saying, ?That?s your headdress.?
In another case cited by relatives, someone had drawn a camel on his
car and written under it, ?Camel jockey, get out!?

Major Hasan?s behavior in the months and weeks leading up to the
shooting bespeaks a troubled man full of contradictions. He lived
frugally in a run-down apartment, yet made a good salary and spent
more than $1,100 on the pistol the authorities said he used in the
shootings.

He was described as gentle and kindly by many neighbors, quick with a
smile or a hello, yet he complained bitterly to people at his mosque
about the oppression of Muslims in the Army. He had few friends, and
even the men he interacted with at the mosque saw him as a strange
figure whom they never fully accepted into their circle.

?He was obviously upset,? said Duane Reasoner Jr., an 18-year-old who
attended the mosque and ate frequently with Major Hasan at the Golden
Corral restaurant. ?He didn?t want to go to Afghanistan.?...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/us/09muslim.html?_r=1&th&...

....Thousands of Muslims have served in the United States military ? a
legacy that some trace to the First World War. But in the years since
Sept. 11, 2001, as the United States has become mired in two wars on
Muslim lands, the service of Muslim-Americans is more necessary and
more complicated than ever before.

On Sunday, the Army?s chief of staff, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., said
he worried about a backlash against Muslims in the armed forces and
emphasized the military?s reliance on those men and women.

?Our diversity, not only in our Army but in our country, is a
strength,? General Casey said Sunday on ?Meet the Press? on NBC. ?And
as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty,
I think that?s worse.?

It is unclear what might have motivated Major Hasan, who is suspected
of killing 13 people. Senior military and law enforcement officials
said they had tentatively dismissed the possibility that he was
carrying out a terrorist plot. He seems to have been influenced by a
mixture of political, religious and psychological factors, the
officials said.

Muslim leaders, advocates and military service members have taken
pains to denounce the shooting and distance themselves from Major
Hasan. They make the point that his violence is no more representative
of them than it is of other groups to which he belongs, including Army
psychiatrists.

?I don?t understand why the Muslim-American community has to take
responsibility for him,? said Ingrid Mattson, the president of the
Islamic Society of North America. ?The Army has had at least as much
time and opportunity to form and shape this person as the Muslim
community.?...

Since Sept. 11, the nation?s military has actively recruited
Muslim-Americans, eager to have people with linguistic skills and a
cultural understanding of the Middle East. Some 3,557 military
personnel identify themselves as Muslim among 1.4 million people in
the active-duty population, according to official figures. Muslim
advocacy groups estimate the number to be far higher, as listing one?s
religious preference is voluntary....

And yet more than 3,500 Muslims have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan,
according to Defense Department figures provided to The Times. As of
2006, some 212 Muslim-American soldiers had been awarded Combat Action
Ribbons for their service in Iraq and Afghanistan, and seven had been
killed.

Too many Americans overlook the heroic efforts of Arab-Americans in
uniform, said Capt. Eric Rahman, 35, an Army reservist who was awarded
the Bronze Star for his service in Iraq at the start of the war. He
cited the example of Lieutenant Michael A. Monsoor, a Navy Seal who
was awarded the Medal of Honor after pulling a team member to safety
during firefight in 2006, in Ramadi, Iraq.

Lieutenant Monsoor died saving another American, yet he will never be
remembered like Major Hasan, said Captain Rahman.

Regardless, he said, Muslim- and Arab-Americans are crucial to the
military?s success in Afghanistan and Iraq.

?Take a look at these conflicts,? he said. ?We need those skill sets,
we need those backgrounds, we need those perspectives.?

Yea, I heard this this morning. However, what I meant by getting him
"connected" was to plug him into a group of friends that he could do
some non-bomb making stuff outside of the Mosque.

That he would be connected the radical Mosque in Virginia that
harbored 9/11 criminals and wasn't being watched closely is a failure
of the Moslem apologist's Barrack Hussein Obama's administration.

H. Richard Hornberger (the author of the original novel under the nom de
plume "Richard Hooker") was an Army surgeon in Korea and the book is
based on his experiences with the (very real) 8055th MASH. The character
of Hawkeye Pierce is based on Hornberger himself.

Hornberger, I note with some pride, was a Cornell graduate.

Wow, what a glaring indication that you live in a fantasy world. Maybe
you can get Obama
to hire the writers of "MASH" and have them rewrite the Fort Hood
massacre so that everyone gets along and the dead come back to life.
Shitzie, you are more fucked up than Nancy Peosi. Almost. You are
