[TriLUG] OT: Hijacked Browser Typos

  Not my decision to make... He has stated what he thinks is the best
option for his situation and I respect that.

 Only my mother calls me David so I'm not sure why you choose to do so. If
this was supposed to be a constructive exercise I doubt you would have
addressed me in the way that you did.  I do know it is not because you
respect me. ;-)

  William, since you asked, I have found during past interactions with
Tanner that when someone has a valid point during an e-mail exchange he
trys to take it off-list so what's the point in exerting the energy?

  In any case, I'm not interested in playing with Tanner. Have a great
evening!

Dave
