Ditto,
Its counter-productive to give an opinion (always presented as fact), 
and text terrorize them. Most of us have been his victims, some more 
than once. I love the help that Jan, David, Scott and others give. But I 
always ~cringe~ when I see a reply with pointy's name on it. His opinion 
is usually very knowledgeable...but he seems to take a perverse pleasure 
in seeing how far he can berate people inline with it.

PS. Jan and David are AWESOME and I am so grateful for the opportunity 
to reach out to them...just dread it at the same time
