Greg,

I didn't realize I needed to log a detailed response to every suggestion
made to me on this list. I've been a member of this list for quite
sometime, and I've never seen a comment like yours before. You're out of
line.

People should bother to reply to me because I've been a participating
member of this list for 4 years now, and often assist others when I can.
I don't expect a response to every suggestion I provide to others.
