Hey Talahasee,

You are so right on with this MVP


How would you know? You don't even know that Andrew E. posts very dangerous
advice and has for years.

Just because he took a test as so he can add MVP to his title,

Shows how little your insight counts. No tests involved, it was an award for
helping out in newsgroups; providing help resources, and working in other
venues to support Windows XP.

he must
believe that he can belittle others below his MVP statue. If Andrew
gave incorrect advise, then you would think that since because of his
statue, that he could be more professional about it.

DUH....Tried the tactful approach if you were informed enough of what you
speak to make judgment you would know how dangerous Andrew E really is.


You were so very poetic and polite. Thank you very much.

You called that polite? Posting a single reply from a thread without posting
what generated the reply. Yeah "poetic and polite".

BTW, I knew another Michael Wayne who was a true gentleman as was his
father. May they both rest in peace.

For reference, I believe that Talahasee was refering to the following:

Don't ever follow Andrew E's idiotic ramblings, he is the equivalent
of a newsgroup terrorist. Occasionally giving correct replies to fool
the naive(like a sleeper cell); but because of the way he posts his
replies they are difficult; to impossible to understand the
information. But why I categorize him as a newsgroup terrorist is that
most of
his posts give advice that will cause the uninformed poster to lose
all the data on their hard drive without any warning to the effect
that this will be the result. He proclaims his malicious advice is
advised by Microsoft but cannot and will not supply links to support
his claims.

WOW! I AM impressed, Mike!

Your reply to Andrew about upgrading from 98 to XP!

That was downright FRIENDLY!

I know, if I were Andrew, I'd have the warm, tingly fuzzies
right about now!

:-)

This is Jerk Tal again,

Or you can just call me "jerk" if you like.

I'm gonna call you "jerk" from now on!

-- kidding

Excuse, please!

Couldn't find our last exchange, so I had a question for
you, and I'll try to not ever bother you ever again.

I went to your web page last night and found some really
cool stuff! I was impressed -- ( with your stuff, not with
you! )

Since you now consider me one of the modern plagues, I am
guessing that I no longer have your permission to access
your web site and download. ?? ( I mean, I might
contaminate it, or something)

I mean, I'm totally stupid, I know. Not worth feeding and
all that. So, can I still have the software?

:-)

( I DO hope you can see and appreciate my TRYING to be
funny. I DO have no hard feelings toward you. Why make YOUR
issues mine? And-- if you missed it-- my profession was/is
writing. How's my parody doing?)


Good luck!
(sincerely)

where does
Microsoft say you can't upgrade from Home to Pro?
The link below confirms that you CAN upgrade from Home to Pro.
Never take any advice from Andrew E.
