If you want comments, I'll comment that your English is better than many native speakers. If I could clearly understand what Subrayan was writing, I would not have commented on his posts, either. >Were they so bad that no-one >cared to reply to them ? For everyone except the two people you were replying to, they were off-topic. I had no way to know that my little joke about off-shoring homework would elicit either of the (imo) over-the-top responses you replied to. I, for one, didn't want to pursue those topics. > >Just wondering if we can put an end here. As far as I'm concerned, yes. Subrayan obviously does not take kindly to suggestions that he try to communicate his needs more clearly, and just as obviously has a chip on his shoulder for some reason. I can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. -- Al Balmer Balmer Consulting removebalmerconsultingthis@att.net .
