I did not delete your comments for any reason other than I had no comment
about them at the time. As a paying customer you are certainly entitled to
your opinions and comments. I have NEVER said _anything_ even remotely close
to countering this. For the _last_ time (and that is fine with me) you can
make these comments pleasantly like everyone else... or take _my_ opinions
about your attitude and presentation... I simply refuse not to make my
feelings known... just exactly as you do.  I just do it with less hostility.

I was not flogging _you_ or anyone about honesty... just saying what I felt
and alluding to Mark's comment that you were just being "honest"... You
chose (again, as always) to misread something to your advantage... to make
me sound like I'm persecuting you or something. No way. You may misinterpret
my words as much as you want... just as you say I do yours. But the words
are there and the intent you attached to them is not.

So typical, Jay. Please... lets. :-)  But don't expect me to not comment on
your bullsh*t about filePro whenever it is bullsh*t... which it most often
is.  Yes there are problems with filePro, but they are NOT an error
reporting system that puts a carat at the beginning of the exact line with
the problem and a perfectly clear explanation of the error itself above...
being worse than useless... and etc. They are not problems you encounter by
mis-using the GETNEXT command and then complaining that _it_ is broken...
and etc. When you come up with something meaningful and present it in a way
that doesn't completely offend my sensibilities... I will still listen and
comment as helpfully as I can. When you do otherwise you can expect me to
respond as I always have. As for not talking directly with each other again,
that is just fine with me... but once again, the childishness is on your
side.

P.S. - And if, by the way I were ever to "flog" you for anything... it would
be for not taking the time to spell check your messages. This simple
procedure might also have you re-reading some of your comments and replacing
some of the hostility for better humor as well.
