That includes being nice to one another. The way in which both OPs unfortunatereply and the reply which provoked it were given were inflammmatory and ill worded. We have often over the years seen these territorial marking matches. Which have a place in quick street confrontations where you never expect to see the person again but are crude and unthinking for a "civilized" list such as LEm. Don't we all want to be treated better. if we are having a bad day with our comuter failing when we need it most and we are on edge do we need someone making a cutting comment. And if we make a cutting comment should we feel self righteous when the person reacts with anger. Please friends, go into maturity mode. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer [email protected] http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com /in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ http://twitter.com/FluxStringer http://mog.com/FluxMuse -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
