I think I admited quite a few times that my posts may not have been
proper...

Two totally different things, and there we go again with the cursing a
person behind the security of a computer screen.
Call it what you like, e-balls, keyboard balls, whatever. I have not once
resorted to anything like that here. From what I can see however, you have
zero problem with it.

Called on what? That I didn't make a proper post or two (which I admited to
long ago) so now a couple of people feel they can just say whatever they
like, and throw all ettiquette out the window?

Anyone can properly call someone on "Hey, you're not following the proper
ettiquette..." without resorting to have the manners of a 7 year old.

Not my first scrape, not my last. But here's where you are totally wrong.
There are plenty of people on the boards/groups that don't resort to name
calling.

Enjoy your life of always being right.

Hey Greg,

Maybe my skin is thin when it comes to the way people act online sometimes.
Maybe yes, or maybe no.

But in the end you pointed that out without resorting to any of what I was
complaining about. So for that thanks.

In the end I did solve it though, I just spent a little more time on some
other support boards (more web than newgroup, I wonder if that's the trend).
And posted what that solution was here and there.

Happy New Year.
