"get over yourself" is a singularly denigrating and patronizing insult. You could have simply pointed out the confusion. > Please don't bring your anti-webmail bias into every discussion involving > webmail. You are extrapolating from the case of a single email thread to all cases? A weak argument. Of course the use of the explicit statement of bias in the framing of the statement is false. (But an excellent example of slanting things. good job.) I have no problem with anyone using web based email, it offers people portability and greater access than most of what they used to have to use. However I already have all that plus speed, flexibility etc.. so I'm not interested in it for my own, unless circumstances change. -- Linux/Open Source: Your infrastructure belongs to you, free, forever.
