You have been rude, insensitive and inconsiderate. To me, and to the
list. We don't need the bandwidth you wasted bitching an old song and I
did nothing wrong and didn't deserve the scolding. Just to be spiteful
I've not clipped a thing. Besides, maybe after sleeping it off you've
forgotten just how ignorant you were. You owe me and others an
apology. Took me several days to calm down enough to a: not do this on
list and b: not swear and rant all over you.
It's just too bad you're tired of virus warnings and tired of MS windows
discussions, it's here, it's staying, and you'll have to get over it. When
you develop an operating system even idiots can use while they get their
WORK done, then I'll listen to you. Till then, you and I are just users.
