> Of course, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Your post sounds > like you're another "Unix puke", and if I had half a mind (and my morning > cup of coffee), I'd nuke you, like I did the last guy who tried to invade. And you probably would have spent the rest of the day with a smug expression on your face, oblivious to the embarrassed stares of your management and co-workers. Larry, you post messages (like the one I read in the same news-feed with bitmap-accessing source code) that indicates that you are an intelligent individual, but it just doesn't make up for posts like the above. Has it slipped past you that you posted this message on what is primarily a Unix newsfeed? Just whom is "invading" whom in that situation? The company you work for (and advertise that fact in your .sig banner) is pulling out all the stops in a desperate attempt to make the upcoming OS/2 2.0 acceptable to the business community that has to date spurned their earlier attempts. IMHO, OS/2 2.0 has a shot (a long shot, but a shot) at doing so. People with your attitude aren't helping matters any. > Additionally, I have a reputation for being obnoxious... Adding that statement to your signature may qualify as an apology, but not as an excuse. Bert Tyler bert@helix.nih.gov

Also Larry, you use invalid return mail addresses. All of my responses to you bounced and are sitting in dead.letters, each with a different mail address. Was this deliberate? -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: feustel@netcom.com or feustel@cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu

(Sigh) Okay...I guess my reply to Doug's posting was harsh as well. Sometimes trying to justify one's actions with another similar action makes things worse. So, I would like to publicly apologize to Doug, Bert, and the original poster's name, and anyone else who feels that I overstepped my bounds. I will think before posting in the future.
