Hello Peter...
I am sorry that your participation in this conversation took such a nasty
turn. I am all for debate and freedom, I am also about protecting rights,
I came here to learn what my options were and instead of just having them
laid out I got a massive lecture and a *giggle* stern talking to...some
people maybe don't have an arena that will listen to them in life and it
makes them feel exceedingly important to pontificate in a venue where we
can't simply walk away and ignore them. It's too bad though, he seems like
an intelligent guy that we could learn a lot from. It's somehow ironic that
the people whom Microsoft designates as "MVP" may have impressive, even
admirable skills with the computer and they may indeed be devoted acolytes of
Microsoft but is there any kind of screening for manners and courtesy? How
about social skills in general? At any rate, maybe he will be intelligent
enough to reconsider his manners and opinion delivery and this will be a much
more enjoyable experience for others in the future.
