I was pointing out a fallacy in their assumption of privacy, not addressing their specific problem. This is part of the problem. Why respond simply to avoid providing any assistance whatsoever, with an unhelpful sarcastic response. What was your real motive in doing so? Why do you assume they are embarrassed by having a mistake pointed out to them? I'm not acquainted with many people with sensibilities that fragile. You need to broaden your horizons, and move beyond the limited pool of friends you currently have. Also try to live by the best motto of all. Treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated. -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 "If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

My *real* motive in posting was to point out an error in their assumption of privacy....as I said in my post. You must have missed it. > > Why do you assume they are embarrassed by having a mistake pointed out to > them?
