So do I - now - have this fella "plonked" May I take this opportunity to publicly apologize to the highly esteemed members of this list for an unworthy outburst of what Greg kindly described as immoderate language. I know better. I think the subject, poster, circumstances and repetitive braindead nature of the constant posting tripped my threshold of indignation. That said though, I should not have replied in that tone, nor employed the vulgarities that I did. I have nothing but *stellar* regard for the individuals who take such immense time and effort to help others on this list. I feel privileged to belong to this community, and grateful for a huge amount of guidance advice and help I've received here. I wouldn't have a working OS without the tireless good humored and plain 'ol kind help I've gotten here. I'm also wildly enthusiastic about this incredible OS. I can't say enough good things about it. Simply put, it's the best (for what I utilize it for anyways!!) My actions did not exactly elevate the level of discourse we are accustomed to. It was invective pure and simple. I am capable of better than that, and apologize for offense that I no doubt caused. And now...onwards. I shall endeavor not to repeat this transgression in the future. Sorry folks. Regards, -Colin -- Colin J.
