Paul, dude, BUDDY!
If you think that was a private flame, I submit you are a little lost ;-) A
private flame is a gloves off bareknuckle exocise in bludgeoning somone and
all this was at best is a strong suggestion to take a look around at whats
going on.
Where on earth do you get the pationts Rich?
