Seems you didn't catch him on a bad day Kim. What are you trying to say Mike? Kim has contributed nothing but positive comments - she positively disagrees with you and she says why. I do hope you're referring specifically to this thread. Whether you are or not, it's not up to you to stand in judgment of another list member's contribution, and certainly not to be negative about it. Kindly make yourself clear. I think you owe Kim an apology.
