Well it seems that our friend (NOT), scott.smallsreed@xxxxxxxxxxx is a certifiable bonehead. I just received a response from him with some pretty colorful language - dayglow, I would say ;) Scott, I'm not going to dignify your filthy comments by responding to that email, but your original post, which was is only five days old, certainly doesn't show the level of your animosity that you shared with me privately. If that O'Reilly book is too much for you then perhaps this isn't the thing for you after all. It's an RTFM world out there, and you'll only last one or two days on the job anyway if you can't swim in that pond. Since you feel such anger against everyone on these lists, then perhaps it is best if you just stick to your job as a plumber ;) One more thing - if you didn't care, then why did you send such a long private flame? ;) TTFN.
