Hi!
First I would like to apologies.
It sounds like a lot of people feels stepped on. It wasn't my meaning. But
I am still surprised over the way people has reacted to my mail.
I was feeling a bit irretated over the answers I got. Let me give you an
example: I was asking my question and then I wrote I was using v. 1.5.1.
The answer I got was "You can't do it with that version". Okay! that is
offcause the correct answer to my question. But couldn't the person have
written "You can't do it with that version, try with v. 2.0" instead? It
is four more words. My opion is, if you don't want to answer a question,
then don't, instead of give half an answer.

I would not hold my breath for an apology. Nor for a paid consulting
assignment.
Let's just drop this and get back to 'pounding out poi'

Don't several people on this list offer paid consulting services for
projects using POI? If somebody needs immediate help, that seems to me
like
the way to go.
