If you take the time to reread my original email, you'll understand that the reason for my tone is the nasty email I received from one of the high and mighty of the LUG. I was only making comments, and not attempting to ruffle feathers....my questions were honest. After I wrote the first email I realized that it was the weekend and that may account for the lack of response. But why am I justifying myself to you anyways? I apologize for offending the gods.
