Roger, while Kyle's response may have been curt it wasn't rude, it wasn't discourteous and he certainly didn't resort to namecalling and repeated personal putdowns. I don't know what's going on with this list tonight, I don't think there's a full moon out, so I don't have any idea what brought on your repeated personal attacks. He's a Mac Technician who deals in Mac terms. That doesn't happen to be an official Mac term. I've heard the term used on other lists, and I'm old enough to know of the Buick it refers to. Regardless, it's not an official name given to that product and Kyle may not be familiar or aware of it. The fact that you are doesn't give you license to cut him down or humiliate him publicly on this list. For him to take action would look like vengeance or retribution, hence, I will do so. Effective this posting, I am banning you from this list temporarily for 2 weeks. When and if you return, perhaps you can discuss topics in a more civil tone.
