I would never over estimate your knowledge or intelligence. How's walking and chewing gum at the same time working out for you Dennis? Do you know how to do it yet? I keep telling you what your problem is. You disrespect everyone, call them morons and fake being an expert yourself. Then you wonder why I keep referring to you as some pompous jackass. You redefine the term slow learner. That's because you don't see that's how you are thought of here. >Having worked in the telecoms industry I can assure you that you can *never* >underestimate how dumb users are (well at least a lot of them). Of course you think you're as smart as a pistol right? You keep implying it. After all that's what you've been trying to tell us for months now. Well sorry fool, I'm not buying your act. Neither will anyone else. Well, maybe Frank will, he'll believe anything if you first tell him Microsoft said so.
