Agreed. There are far better things to worry about than how someone composes an email. Life is a little too short to get this worked up over something so simple.<br><br><p><DEFANGED_div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 13, 2007 11:35 AM, Rick Vargo <

<br>> want. Thank you!<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> grlug mailing list<br>> <a href="mailto:grlug@grlug.org">grlug@grlug.org</a><br>> <a href="http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug" target="_blank">
