Peter Cousens,

In response to the new thread you have created with me as the hero;

> Congratulations
> Not bad for a first post

Thank you. You are so kind, however I don't believe you.

> One of the top competent regular poster gone

Not yet, since he does not believe (as do others) that abuse is uncalled
for.
If in fact HE is gone, then we have also lost one of the most abusive
personalities I have encountered on the web.

> I think you've (JOE) found a very big pair of shoes to fill

Not my job, man.  I don't pretend to be an expert.  Certainly not on how
Outlook Express handles PGP attachments.

> I look forward to reading YOUR posts (and replying acordingly too)

Your prerogative.

That may be a mistaken concern.  See below.

Anyone that takes every post on this list as being 100% accurate is not very
smart.

> Mistakes (we are only human ( except Olin and he's a saint))need to be
> pointed out fast .

Yep, to pointing out mistakes fast, you've got to be kidding about the other
assertion.  The alleged saint is incorrigible, I don't believe he can help
himself or he really believes he has the right to jump down people's throats
because of 'his' standards.

> The great thing about this list (I've been around since 1997) is the
> overall acuracy of the replies.

I defer to your experience.

> If you value the tone above accuracy, I suggest  that YOU leave the list

"2 plus 2 equals 4, A**hole" may be accurate but the tone leaves something
to be desired.  MAN, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR A FEW PIC
ANSWERS.

Thanks for the help, pal.

My turn; try a spell checker, and maybe add punctuation.  It'll make you
seem more knowledgeable, experienced and believable.  "Gee whiz, I'm
beginning to sound like you know who."  Oh! No! A descent to the lowest
common denominator.

Joe

PS  My mental health seems ok.  Thanks for asking.  I suspect some of the
saint's apologists will not agree with me.  That's OK, I'll survive.
