These couple of days have been interesting, really.

But I wouldn't, would I, given what *you* write?

Anyway, you did that only to make your point.

I've come to think that I'm wasting my time writing here. I'm finally
not deterred from unsubscribing by the irritating fact that the two
'gentlemen' above *really* want me to do it.

After all, the people for whom I'm actually writing can be counted on
two hands. Those people I thank, and I've learned a lot from you.
People like Lelia, David H and N and G, Mike, Anne, Dan, my friends in
NZ, and so on. You know who you are.

As for the others, we can count a jumped-up educator, and the people who
can learn from his instructions: and a Micro$oft lawyer who's more
valuable than that; plus all the nameless ones, and a few sour-mouthed
sideliners.

Neil Leupold for example, further wrote:

Appealing to people's hearts is something you've always done, Neil.
Actually, I wouldn't know you knew what a heart was, from your posts.

Thank you Mark Charette, anyway, for your generosity and intelligence,
over these couple of years.

Tony
