My message to Beav was *supposed* to go directly to him, without the
newsgroup being involved at all. Again, I do not intend to post further
to the group so comments about the post are unnecessary.

If there's one thing to learn about online discussion, including
usenet, is that there are always "assholes".

Another thing to learn is that no one is holding a gun to your
head and forcing you to read their messages, much less forcing
you to reply to them.

Finally, I basically only lurk in this group to learn from the
much more expierienced folks who have "been there, done that",
and personally I feel Beav is someone to listen too. He may be
abrasive as salt in a wound, but he generally knows what he's
talking about.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing that too! ;-)

Glad to see you're still around. This place is either all or nothing these
days!

I'm always around Steve, just not posting much. Other things and all that
crap, but the guitar and piano are taking a real hammering of late:)
