when did i call you anything other than your first name. it you read the
whole message you would see that we are talking about matters like this.
I do not want to argue. i am just pointing out that if we want users to
switch away from M$ then we have to mind our manners. besides man a
harsh words never is helpfull whatsoever.  there is never a need to
flame anyone. if you don't wish to respond, then don't. but don't
respond to a honest question with an over inflated ego and expect people
to like you.  quit burning bridges man.  trust me no one is as good as
they think they are.
