Now you're just being spiteful, and silly. Anyone with half a brain can read up on this topic and see that I was trying to help you. Only the last 2-3 posts have I posted anything negative to, or about you. It's also very simple for anyone to see that you're playing into this like a hurt drama queen. "Wah, wah ! you're not going to do my work for me, so I'm not going to use your product . . . wah wah."
