Maybe so but I don't want that to be the main point in my message. That
was a small note and Peter did provide useful help and points, which I'd
like to thank him for. I've noticed a couple of detrimental messages in
his direction. I don't know the guy or know what the problem is so I'll
keep out of it! :-)

I think the gllug mailing list is really good for the number of helpful
replies and the general lack of point-scoring.

sm~: this truely isn't directed at you so please do not take this
message in that way.

Have a nice day, y'all,

ben.
