Todd, This is my personal opinion, but:
You, and everyone else on this does not owe Doug (or anyone else for that matter) anything. People on this list are taking time out of their day to help other developers. I personally appreciate it. I know that I learned most of what I know about web development by getting help from the community. So, to everyone on the list who is contributing and helping others out, thanks... mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Rafferty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 6:49 PM Subject: RE: Installation problem with MX - HELP!! > At 06:37 PM 3/7/2003 -0500, you wrote: > > > IMHO he made a very accurate statement.
