Russ,
Please do not pontificate.
Please re-read what I have written and comprehend it.
I decline to correct your misinterpretations, step by step, but please
do not bring irrelevances such as Fedora into view nor take a pompous,
indeed arrogant, attitude that when asked about Ralph, you decide to
play on "privacy". A simple "I don't know" or a "Currently on a 'n'
week vacation" would have been an appropriate answer.
And, finally, when are you going to correct the "-- Russ herrold"
signature block on all your mails? Quite honestly, it give the
impression of a person who is slipshod and sloppy in all that he does.
Alan.
