Well, gee, Lisa, I'm really appreciative of all you people who have been at
this for two years and have all the answers to my questions, but I'm a bit
perturbed at being condescended to for just having joined the list a couple
of months ago and not been privy to your discussions. Maybe I'm the only
new person to the list. Maybe not. Someone asked in another post why the
number of participants is down on the list. Maybe attitudes like yours have
something to do with that problem. Ya' think maybe?
BTW, I asked the questions because I thought some in the list just might
have a handle on it. Otherwise I would have been REALLY stupid to ask the
questions, no?
Sorry to have bothered you.
Maybe issue FAQs might help relieve people like Lisa of having to deal with
taxpayers who pay her salary like me.
