It must be difficult maintaining such a bitter attitude all the time. I mean always insulting people like you do. I wonder how you would feel if everyone on this NG treated you the way you routinely treat others. I don't know you but I'll bet you don't make friends very easily, or keep the ones you do make very long. A little respect can go a long way. So can a little humility. If you were my vendor, I'd be looking for another vendor too. Received on Wed Dec 14 2005 - 08:24:39 CST
