Let me take this opportunity to say publicly that I appreciate you very greatly. I have never felt intimidated from courteously disagreeing with you or asking you to explain anything or any ruling that I did not understand. >From the very beginning--and it's been barely three months for me--you have helped me to learn to use The Bat! and to be friends with all my fellow subscribers. I was shocked at the language that was used to you. It was uncalled for, and you characterized the origins of this challenge to the authority of the moderators (who are only doing their best to keep tbudl useable) extremely well in all your responses both to the original Post and the subsequent ones, I thought. It is only at this point--when things are about settled, it looks like to me--that I feel bold enough to express my feelings about the issue publicly. To me, you are My Hero (one of a few) and a Perfect Man!! -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
