Samuel.
I've been an active list member for more than 4 years.
Refer me to one post in the last 6 months where he
instructed or assisted someone to work through a
specific problem or issue in an objective,
instructional, and non-abrasive manner that wasn't
sarcastic, condescending, demeaning, or constructed as
a generalized rant (and yes, rants can be funny)
against humanity, or even just everyone in a business
who might have felt or acted in a specific manner.
A simple answer to a simple question.
You do that and I will publicly post an appology to
all 4,000 plus readers.
