:Matt, this thread is a LOT older than Nov 20th, it runs for YEARS. Dennis
:said the same things about 2.2 vs. 2.1.5 at the very least. A few years
:later when he finally got his driver sorted out for 2.2, it became the

If you base your opinion on something a person has done years ago then
absolutely *nothing* he can do will change your opinion. If you then
perpetuate the problem by using that as the basis for a continuing opinion,
and use that to color your every reply, then you create a self-fullfilling
prophesy. The only person you have to blame in that type of situation is
yourself, since you are the only one who can change it.
