However, I do not appreciate it when people use private e-mail to attack me. Attacks should be out in the open so everybody can see. Personal mail exchanges are there for the benefit of people who would like to /think/ and would like to do so privately before publishing their unfinished thoughts. In keeping with this spirit, I share his inappropriate private communication. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Brandon J.

I think you have a listening / reading comprehension problem. And your ideologies are both pretentious and stupid.

I strongly urge people to make note of this person's name and company and to share it with as many people as possible to prevent him from having any business success at the expense of the friendly, helpful USENET community whom he abuses for no discernible reason. -- Erik Naggum | Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
