Hi Wesley,

Thank you. When I see problem with menu I try to help...

When somebody complains that have pain in eye,
my offer don't to cure this eye, I offer - stop open a beer using
this eye :)


I do apologize to you for giving you a hard time about yourstartmenu. And
I will cease and desist. I am sure that you have worked very hard on it.
It takes a lot of skills to program something like that. I have none of
those skills and could not program anything like it.

However, suggesting yourstartmenuwhen someone has a fixable problem with
their XPstartmenuis not always the answer.

And thank you kindly, Dennis, for your offer for yourstartmenu, but I am
honestly not interested.

All you are doing is spamming the newsgroup. If your motivation was to help people you would reply to a variety of questions in here with help, not just one type of question and one reply, - a link to your product. Since all you do is reply with "use my product", it's clear all you are doing is spamming the group for your own benefit.
