Good, Doug. VERY good. You know, I could spend all day discussing guys who
write in with dumb questions on topics that they don't know much about, but
I'll pass. The last thing I want to be thought of, here, is some sort of
troublemaker, or something. You know that saying "Grace under pressure"?
That's you, that is. Swell guy!

And I, for one, am deliriously happy, Doug, that you're NOT spending all day
discussing whether or not it's necessary to make people feel dumb for asking
questions on topics that they don't know much about but are trying to learn
with people who obviously feel better once they make those others feel dumb.
That would be just silly, wouldn't it?

Believe me, Doug, so did I. Appreciate it, I mean. Especially considering
that I thought he was going to say that people who pay for stuff that they
can download for free are dumb, and need a brain transplant. I was proved
wrong - and I normally don't admit to being wrong (even though I wasn't).
Yes.

That's just *me*, Doug. You see, I notice when someone needs help, and I
jump right in and give it. I guess I was just born that way.

I understand, Doug. Can't say I got around to reading any of the replies you
got (I was bored), but I'm sure you found out how Napster, and all those
other pay-services rip the shite out of your bank-balance. These guys! So
helpful!
