Gail,

Once again, someone has proven that the inability to communicate ideas while
dealing with constructive criticism runs rampant in this world.  Where in
the world did the reference to Spock come in???  and the reference to
screaming???  Another point to make here - if you don't want email replies
to emails that you sent, then don't be part of a mailing list.  I deal with
people criticising my replies all the time, but I only begin to take it
personal when people make responses like you did attacking my character when
you know absolutely nothing about me.

It's amazing how brave we become when we can hide anonomously behind a
computer.  And you call ME the geek.

Jeez, if you can't take constructive criticism, then don't post replies.

Thanks,
Keith D Sellars
