Gewg_, WHO the F--- is Andy grove? (Rhetorical ?)
This is not my thread. If you disagree with me that's fine, I don't expect anyone
to blindly agree with anything I post.
At least I made a suggestion to the poster that could lead to a solution. So far
all you've done is support your own opion of what I posted, with NOT ONE productive
suggestion for the person who requested help from this Forum.
If you disagree with what I posted, please outline what you think will help and reply
to the poster.
I think you just proved to yourself that you are, in fact, Paranoid. ( Vern, there's
65,00 of "em just waitin for us to drop our shields. Damn, there's one behind every
bush.) Beam me up Scotty.
There is risk in living, breathing, walking sdown the street and any number of other
human activities. Obviously, in this case, there is even risk in expressing an opinion.
If you want to disagree with what I post, tell the poster you disagree with my advice.
I dont't need (care) to hear it! I could care less who disagrees with what I post
on this forum.
Now, if you don't have anything constructive to add to the possible solution for
this persons problem, Please shut up and save Creative Element a few mb space on
the server.
