I highly doubt that I have sent 50 e-mails, and for your information
what you perceive as a SPAMMER = someone sending unsolicited e-mailed to a
private account. 1. mailing list sends out multiple e-mails so your bound to
get your so called "spamming e-mails". I don't feel I was harassing anyone.
So what you perceive harassment is someone being inquisitive about coding. I
just don't understand some people. Go ahead log it.. I don't really give a
damn. I'm not selling nothing. Or sending porn over the Internet. When I get
a personal message harassing me about what I can or cannot do like your god
or something. I feel a rebuttal is in order.
As for my age that is highly irrelevant but for your info I am not
some kid. I'm married and have children like that's any of your business. So
who is harassing whom.
As I have mentioned before when you have helped me out, "sorta" with a
problem. I have thanked everyone who has gave input. Even Erwin's cryptic
answers. So please keep your comments to your self. If its not nice don't
say it at all.
Dantin
P.S. You can have the last say I really don't care. Just thought I'd tell
you my viewpoint in the matter, whether you liked it or not.
