Thanks, Jim. (Last word by me, as always) :)

>Now this thread is going on and on and on and on and on... and it is evident that your pride has been hurt.

>I note that the UT is getting along just fine without JVP. I suspect that the tek-tips folks feel that they will get along fine without your participation. Why not just let it be so?
>
>I like/enjoy (enjoyed...you haven't been here much lately) your paritcipation here but I must admit that I had to learn to overlook certain things, as I'm sure most have to with my posts too.

>I've found that you always need to have the last word and that you are picky in the extreme.
>Take the message quoted below for example, where you say to Leland "...but this information is easily accessible from tek-tips site (Contact us).".
>What is the benefit/purpose of that statement. If I was Leland I would take it as a small insult - telling me that I could have found that out by myself and that I must be dumb no to have!!!
>You stand a good chance of having alienated him by that superfluous and unnecessary remark. It is possible, after all, that the "Contact Us" does NOT reach, at least directly, the person with whom you have been dialoguing on the matter. It is possible that he, like me, is less than fully web-proficient and so easily overlooks the "Contact Us", "our privacy policy" etc. that appear at the bottom of every web site.

>If I was in your shoes I'd just drop the whole issue and forget about tek-tips. There are lots of other sites out there for you to participate in.

>>Hi Leland,

>>Thanks a lot. Ask him also please to restore my messages, though I guess, it's now impossible. They use SQL Server database and restore from backups only in emergency cases.
>>
>>I sent you his info in private, but this information is easily accessible from tek-tips site (Contact us).

>>>Hi Hadya,

>>>What is Tek-Tips Manager's email address and I will ask him to reinstate your privileges.
