Re: . . . Solutions <read this>

Mr. Bonini--
Ok, now let ME be "direct and to the point." The condescending tone of your
messages has so far out-shadowed any potentially constructive advice as to
make them totally worthless in my opinion. Your original message grated on
my nerves, but I refrained from saying anything as it was not directed
toward me. But this has gone too far. Even though I am not the target of
this utter lack of tact, as a member of this list and one who reads the
messages that come across it, I am VERY offended. Your behavior is not only
unprofessional, it is just downright rude. I might expect such actions from
one of my students, but even they would hear about it.

You can be sure that it will be quite some time before I venture to pose a
question to this group again, as I have no wish to be the target of such
boorishness and poor taste. You obviously have the expertise to be able to
offer good advice, but at this point I could care less. I joined this list
to learn, not to be treated like an idiot because I don't know as much as
some people here.

Oh, and I DO appreciate the answers everyone made to my question regarding
the password protect. I will consider all of it carefully.

Dusty
