In my own experience I found such responses upsetting in my initial Linux challenges until I equated it with "just a sign of the times" words and actions like polite, considerate and respect have lost their meaning in a segment of our society. When was the last time as an example you heard a response like yes sir or no sir except in the military where they have something called a code of conduct.. Merely the 2 cents of a 77 year old who no longer marvels at the downside of progress! Allen Meyers [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
