Let the flaming begin...

1) Given that Peter appears to be an employee of Microsoft, and the fact
the others that post from MS most of the time use the same, or similar
wording, perhaps it is some sort of standard set by MS or the division these
people work for. I'm not saying it isn't a little annoying, but perhaps you
are misplacing the blame.

2) While a bit wordy, I find Peter's responses to be courteous, if nothing
else. Something that is surely lacking in the US and some other parts of the
world these days. When you can't even get a "Thank you, come again" from the
pimple-faced punk at fu**ing McDonalds anymore, and the manager couldn't
care less, I find the courtesy refreshing.

3) By saying "I'm looking into the problem" at least he's showing he gives
a rat's ass, which is more than you can say about some of the people at MS
and MS (as a company) itself.

4) How is your posting this criticism (and anyone responding, including me)
and less noise then Peter saying he's looking into the problem?

5) While searching the archives, I see you have asked quite a bit from the
people here, and have given, relatively, little in return, who the HELL are
you to criticize ANYONE for offering FREE advise, regardless of the format?
And if you need an answer faster consider paying for answers, otherwise, go
away!

6) You read each and every post to this group? What, you don't have a job,
or a life? Get one, step outside once in a while and get some fresh air. If
Peter's responses bother you that much just add him to your killfile, then
you don't even have to know he posted.

7) More of a suggestion really...Get off your high-horse and shut the F**K
UP!
