First let me appologize for venting. Inexcusable.

Not knowing the document belonged to M$ was an honest mistake, given that I couldn't open said document. Hence the complaint I received about the documentation. > > > What were you thinking?

My email, while it may have been out of line, fell pretty short of a rant. Come on, you must agree. Since I coulnd't open, read, manipulate, or otherwise examine the document, it being in M$ Word format, sort of makes it tough for me to "Get A Clue." > > In short, get a clue! Got one. Came through loud and clear. I was out of line, and my note had an argumentative tone. Given I use your software free of charge, who the devil am I to complain? However, I do donate to Open Source every year. Last year was GNOME's turn. The year before was Debian. Come to think of it, I never did get the darn coffee cup from Gnome.org. What the heck, I use IceWM now anyway. I also got the push-off message pretty clear. I do recommend your software on a regular basis, and I am not without influence in a few organizations. I will continue to recommend your software. It does a great job. BTW, cute picture of you and your dog. Anyone loved by a dog cannot be bad. I'll chalk this up to two people having a bad day, and a misunderstanding Amigo. Keep up the good work, and don't sweat the small stuff. Oh, and it is all small stuff. Vya Con Dios. Sorry we had the misuderstanding.
