You are a bit thick. Neither am I racist. I actually was a race relations
consuler for the Army for many years in Korea. You just said some stupid
things and I see that you are a person that cannot admit he flew off the
handle. To bad, but to the original question which you seemed to ignore, has
the quality suffured. I think I will go get in my Yugo and go watch the
Mexican American border here in El Paso to make sure they are not smuggling
anything from China or Indonesia to compete with the products make in
Malaysia. Take care Tim and relax.John P (956)

Coming from a man who obviously cant grasp the subtleties of logic let alone
the English language being called thick is really quite a compliment. I suggest
you take some of the money you presumably have from your management of a
multi-million dollar company and invest some of it in some education in logic
and English classes.
Given the US Armys reputation for race relations Im not sure I would take your
being a Race Relations Counselor in it as any sort of validity of your racism or
lack thereof however since you have stated that you are not racist I will take
it at face value and accept that you are not. Of course I never said you were
racist, I said your comment was racist. To put the difference in terms you may
understand, if I say you had a vegetarian meal tonight it is not the same as
saying you are a vegetarian. The former implies you ate a meal with no meat,
the latter implies you do not eat meat.
Finally, to answer some questions. Has the quality suffered? Not in my opinion.
The instructions tend to have more errors but I assume this is a result of the
accelerated production schedule rather than where they are produced. Did I fly
off the handle? No. Did I use overly harsh (and as it was slightly incorrect)
language? Yes.

| I could never spell and am too old to change that. That is why Microsoft Word has a spell check. At work my typing was done by the secertary. No matter, seems to be your problems and not mine.
