Ummm, sarcastic replies are not exactly kosher under the brotherly LUG
guidelines Damon drafted & the members approved. I would have thought cabal
members in particular would have a bit more respect for the LUG as a help for
members service. 

Mind you, rude responses & escalating it on the list is not in line with the
guidelines either :-)

The message asking for help regarding Windows software might have been off
topic for a LUG, but many LUG users also use commercial software, or try to
support others who use such software and IMHO any sincere request for help
should be answered supportively.

Except mine- feel free to heap abuse :-)

Your msg below is much more appropriate :-)
