I love it when you're harsh. :o) William

If you and Mr. Walsh choose to misinterpret some miniscule percentage of my posts as rude (some of them, like this one are intentionally rude) quite honestly, I don't give a rat's ass. Both of the responses Mr. Walsh chose to comment on were made to people who have a long standing knowledge of my abilities and opinions. Neither of them was offended by my comments, and while the comments might be a bit stark, (or harsh to borrow from Mr. Lefkovics' verbiage) they are backed by significant level of experience. You assumed that my brevity to your query equated to rudeness. Mr. Hummert, you've already pointed out in this thread where assumptions get you. Now, please either dazzle me with your technical brilliance or STFU. > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:hummertc@;noghri.net] > Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 5:19 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > > Perhaps you should read your e-mails before you send them.
