================================================ Subject: Re: Safety First... Admission after the info From: "Keith P. Mears" To: Date: Tue 21 Aug 2001 23:25:56 -0500 ================================================ Go back and re-read your own posts, Jimbo. YOU made the issue Office XP, because you couldn't find any corroboration for your ASININE assertions about WINDOWS XP. And if you need proof of that, feel free to ask either Debbi or myself, as we keep EXTENSIVE archives, and would be more than willing to make you eat your words. And BTW, how is it that a post exemplifying ME for my ability to freely admit I made a mistake (in a thread in which you were not even involved) got twisted into a vilification of your own INABILITY to do the same? Must be nice to live in your own little world. And in closing, COMMA'S.
