For one: The followup that I had made as I already stated was confirming the problem was on his end and in no way that I see was offending, maybe I could have choose different words but that does not relieve the response I had received after from Ed. For two: If you want to call someone something call them by the respective name or email address that they have spoken with. I do not ever recall naming Ed anything other than his own name nor anyone else. As spoken do on to others as you would do onto your self. I repeat my name is not Sherlock Holmes. Thirdly: Constructive ? there was nothing non-constructive about the followup I had made. I have missed plenty of things in the past and would never claim otherwise and the information that I offered certainly was not complete but was meant not to be, and not in a critiquing manner. -- jhell
