Tom, as you will see if you check, there was no discussion that was "not going my way" because there aren't any other messages from me. My last message in the thread was two days ago. All I did was mention that this had occurred, in the context of a discussion of people using "M$". Period. Here is my entire message, every word of it: "A while back, someone replied to a message from me and actually changed "MS" to "M$" in the quoted text. MY text. That's inexcusable, as far as I'm concerned." As far as I was concerned, that was the end of it. And had you said nothing, that WOULD have been the end of it. But instead you had to post some crap about "Microsoft minders", reverence, and bowing. It was hard to fathom because, as you can see, I didn't ask anyone to do anything. I was just saying that intentional misquoting is bad form, and I found it hard to understand why you would respond as you did. The proper response would have been either silence or "No, people shouldn't do be doing that." ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
