My original comment:

"Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Progress always means that
someone is upset."

So, where in this comment am I condescending? I sympathized with your
response to Office 2007 GUI and made a simple statement saying that
progress will always upset some people.

Like I said before, you have the thinnest skin of anyone I have ever tried
to reply to and REALLY need to lighten up. Being that defensive in a
public forum must take up all of your energies looking for insults where
they don't exist.

Now here is a person who richly deserves the killfile option. Think I
will take advantage of that.
