Hello. I agree with Bob on this one. I occasionally have to ask a question because I don't understand what the manual is saying and someone can sometimes put it in simpler terms for me, down to my level if you will. We should be supporting and helping each other and not cutting someone down. Sharon

Whether Terry was or was not right to ask for the commands, she certainly deserved a kinder answer than the rude one she received. What, is she a ten-year-old? No, she's an adult, like everyone else on this list. She had just as much of a right to ask her question as anyone, without being given an answer, calculated to make her feel about two inches tall. You know, when you get right down to it, most questions, asked on the list, can be found in the manual! Maybe, we should eliminatethe list! Actually, I don't want to eliminate the list; just the rudeness. If you don't think a question is warranted or legitimate, don't answer it. You don't have to rake someone over the coals. This list has taught me a lot, but, by golly, I'll unsubscribe, if this rudeness doesn't stop!! I hope it doesn't come to that! Thank you. God bless.
