I thought he said he was done posting?

Thank you for clarifing. That lets everyone in the world know that MVP in
no
way means anything close to a person to ask for any kind of constructive
help
or advice. I shall make a note and never bother even thinking an MVP is
around these newsgroups for any other purpose than self gratification.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. Since you are reading it in
English,
thank a Soldier.

|||| Microsoft MVPs are not employees of the company; indeed, they must
|||| give up their MVP designation if they accept employment with
|||| Microsoft.
||||
|||| As such, we do NOT represent Microsoft, their views, or the fitness
|||| of their
|||| software for specific purposes.
||||
|||| Read the archives of this group and others if you have any
|||| questions.
||||
|||| Microsoft lackeys we are not - and you would find many MVPs who
|||| will give them "what for" when they mess up, which they do, on many
|||| occasions, me among them.
||||
|||| However, user stupidity, lack of thoughtfulness, inability to
|||| understand "beta" or any other user error also gets the same
|||| treatment.
||||
|||| Caveat Emptor - would that be a better label for Beta software?
|||| Except, folks think they are getting a free Microsoft Office suite
|||| to use for a few
|||| months and can't resist the temptation, DON'T read the warnings,
|||| and install
|||| it thinking that it will work perfectly and can be uninstalled as
|||| the "normal" program can.
||||
|||| Tell me, how is anyone going to bang this into anyone's head when
|||| Google mail, toolbar, etc. have been in perpetual beta and lull
|||| people into thinking that beta software works perfectly for their
|||| production environments.
||||
|||| If you want to blame anyone, blame the perpetual Google betas for
|||| diluting the meaning of "beta."
