Mr. DesignTech,

I don't know if you meant the above remark the way I read it. If you
didn't, please excuse the following and I sincerely appologize.

However, if you DID mean it the way I read it, I would like to remind
you that this is a friendly list. I have been on here for over 7 months
or so and have been real impressed with the people on here, they are all
freindly and eager to help. I have asked many questions -- maybe some
of them WERE rediculous -- but I was always treated with respect and
kindness. This list is suposed to be a place where a Dakota driver can
ask a question and get help with what he/she is having trouble with
without worrying about being made fun of. I personally think I had a
valid question that at the least might turn in to an interesting thread
for the other members to read. Also there are many new members comming
on and remarks like this tend to make them shy away from posting (for
fear of being made fun of because their question is viewed by some
member as being stupid). To any new members or any members who might be
reluctant to ask a question I urge you to speak up. I think there are
about 283 members now? I can say for sure that 282 of them will be glad
to help if they can (without any degrading remarks)

Again if you meant this in a funny or joking maner, I apologize. But
when I read your remarks I took offense.
