It's not really a Discussion Group, it's a News Group. I relate your
original post about "Why all the fuss" as a thoughtless remark. While it's
nice to know that you have had no problems with the install, nor had any
conflicts..so far, it doesn't really do anyone any good to know that you are
having no problems. It's kind of like telling someone who just had a tooth
pulled then subsequently the socket became infected, causing so much damage
that surgery was needed, that you had a tooth pulled with no problems at
all. It's nice, but it doesn't really help the situation.
