WHOA, folks!
I just sent Lar a not offline today, but I hadn't even read this far in the
posts until five minutes ago.
This was just a case of misunderstanding. I actually didn't pay attention
to the newsgroups - I take responsibility for that and will try to be more
thoughtful in the future. In otherwords, I had a brain fart.
I don't think anyone was snide or such. I should have redirected to the
offtopic fun list.
Thanks for the criticism - will pay more attention in the future.
PS: I am part of MichLUG, but Lar is right none-the-less. Heck, everyone's
right! We're all right! :^)
Cheers!
