Ms. Barnhill,
So you want to open the barn door? Climb down off your high horse. You
don't believe attacks on anyone are acceptable in this forum? You have
excused and overlooked personal attacks on me by Peter Daniels when he
posted under the clown's name grammatim and more recently right here in this
very forum. I was not very interested in your scoldings and protestations
then and I am certainly not interested in them now.
You may have forgotten, but unlike you I don't have the opportunity (or
desire really) to unleash personal attacks against you behind the shield of
the Microsoft Word Private newsgroup. Whatever I have to say to or about
you I will say in a manner that you are privledged to read, react to, and
respond as you see fit. That will be via a private e-mail message which you
may read or continue to ignore at your leisure or here. I won't stoop to
villifying you behind your back.
Since you have brought up the subject of tongues, I would suggest that you
keep yours behind your teeth concerning me both here and in the private Word
newsgroup. You may think that you have gotten away with your indescration
in the private group and perhaps you have. Still that matter is very much
alive and moving its way up the Microsoft management organization.
Stick to your convictions Ms. Barnhill. You have said that the best strategy
for dealing with trolls like Peter and me is to ignore them. Just do it!
I'm failing to see how your post has been helpful to the OP. While
Jay's answer may in fact provide the required solution, we don't yet
know that, since the OP has not posted a reply. If it does not, then
the questions Peter asked seem to me not irrelevant to
troubleshooting the situation. In any case, you don't seem to have
provided an alternative.
In any case, I must strenuously protest the implications of your
post, which appears to be an attack on me (just as your previous post
was clearly an attack on Peter). I don't believe that attacks on
anyone are acceptable in this forum. I very much resent the phrase
"pet troll" and would ask that you try to keep a civil tongue in your
head if you reply to my posts in future.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
