As little use as I have for Kurttrail, I must defend him here. This is not
the same one. This imposter is using the CDO and the signature is not there.

Hi, Walter.

This following message below was not posted by me, nor any knowledgeable
person for that fact.
go back to gardening or whatever it is you do.

Many people around here think it's funny to go around and post on the web
CDO with other peoples information. And, so a second Chris Lanier is born
in another state or coutry.

Your post provided great insight to the problem. :)

Hi Walter,

That offensive post was not from Chris Lanier, MVP. Look at the signature,
not to mention, the imposter is using CDO to post.

Hi TJ,

Just organizing links is almost a full time job for me. Each time I read a
reply to a post that offers a link, I send it to favorites, to look at
later.There is a world of information offered here.

Cheers, JAX

knowledge on this site. We'd always be willing to help a 'newbie' cause we
were one once. I have gotten lots of help and info from here and I always
check all the forums to learn new things. Just read and post. I've got a
whole list of troubleshooting sites to answer my questions just from all the
recommendations here.
 
I did'nt think that sounded like Chris.

Thanks for the defense-this reaffirms my "duh" capacity, though. What is an OP?

So are you smart then?
Really, what degree do you have?
Why not? (there are some acceptible answers to this, but 'educated and
smart' would mean that the wanker should know better than make such a post).
Do you have a fulfilling social life? Honestly?
If your answer to that question is 'yes', why bother to make that post?
Did it make you feel big? Did it make you feel intelligent?
If the answer is 'yes', you need to see a shrink. Actually helping people is
far more affirming.
I have news for you: I don't care how smart you think you are or what your
qualifications are - it took more guts for the OP to post the question than
you have, and more idea of real life than you have to reply in a sensible,
helpful manner. I doubt you agree, as you are obviously screwed up in some
way, but that doesn't matter... nor does what you say now, everyone watching
thinks you're the stupid one.

OP= original poster - sorry for the abbreviation, I didn't think!

Wow-what an interesting exchange! I just want to thank all of you "normal" people for the support and information supplied to this "newbie" (see-I'm already learning-learned yesterday that OP didn't stand for "old person," although in this case that would have been applicable). However, one advantage of my age is that I realize how much I don't know.

Hi Julie,

When I was 16, I new everything. Now that I am 55, I seem to have forgotten
most of it.

You have asked a wonderful question and I am very pleased by the other replies that are also encouraging you to explore how to use the electronic tool at your finger-tips
The maxim to keep in mind (that only occurred to ME last Saturday) is
The benefit of technology is NOT what it lets mankind accomplish, but in how it improves the character of man
Best wishes.
