Diane, Thank you, that is exactly what I meant. This has all been an unfortunate misunderstanding, and I hope it's getting cleared up. All of this has caused me to relearn a very important truth:
Sarcasm does *NOT* translate well through Emails! Note to self! Sarah -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Diane Garrett Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 1:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] PDI staff please respond thanks Hi, List! Actually, Ann, Jonathan did send out an explanation a while back saying that the original 6.1 upgrades would have the 6.11 upgrade added to it and sent out. I think this was sent out in March when so many people were getting bent out of shape over not receiving their upgrades when they wanted them. Maybe Sarah remembers this email like I do, and made her statement according to it. After all, the label doesn't mean anything after Jonathan assured people that the 6.11 upgrade would be on the original card along with the 6.1 upgrade. Lisa had a right to ask about this if she has not been keeping up with the List lately, but don't come back on people who know, and remember, things just because they answer a question in a manner that you don't approve. Sarah was giving a good answer, not a rude, uncaring one. Lighten up everyone! Let's relax and enjoy our new upgrades, or our old ones, and keep on offering new ideas for PDI to use in future upgrades. This is a good list when people aren't picking at one another. Let's keep it this way!! Diane Garrett/Leader Daisy Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (918) 664-5731 > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Ann K.
