Importing/exporting data with carriage returns (I Think)

[Mike Fedkiw]

Regardless of the help I may need you are the last person that I would 
ever consider paying to help me with your demeanor. In my previous 
statement I was only giving an example of what a normal(NOT YOU) person 
might have done, that's all.

Why is this seeming familiar, could that be because I'm now remembering 
some back and fourth between you and myself similar to this a while 
back, yea...

I've never had an issue with anyone on this list other than you Mark, 
imagine that. I'm always courteous and try to let everyone know that I'm 
appreciative of whatever help I was able to get here. NEVER have I dealt 
with crap like I'm see coming from you so I suppose that makes you stand 
out if that's what you're looking for.

You are such an A$$ Mark, but have a nice day anyway.

Mike
