Comment 132 for bug 349519

Sir, It is quite clear that I (may have) offended you. That was certainly
NOT my intention. As regards my "miserable bleatings"... I confess that i
tend to be verbose, but this comes from years of beta testing and assisting
newbies. I prefer to err on the side of "excess detail".

The bottom line is that i AM satisfied that you have pointed me to a
solution, and that it works. I regret that you took offense, and offer my
sincere apologies.... I wish you a vey good weekend.

wiith cordial and RESPECTFUL greetings from Montreal, Canada.

THANK YOU for your help. End of discussion.
