    Gail, see the latest on this one you were just on?

    I saw it. I had a half-written, very snarky reply that I deided was better not posted. Besides, I just got an email that's boggled my mind more than anything I've seen here recently. (will PM if you're interested)

    Sure, I'm in. So is Grant I believe. Just got the "strangest" PM from him. I think it has to to with this.

  • Yeah, I thought I clicked on the PM button on a message of Gail's but I guess not. Poor Lynn. Time for me to go home. I have to run the chainsaw this afternoon. I'm not off to a good start.

  • Three years experience, asking questions like this? More like 1 month of experience over 36 months.

  • A month can seem like an eternity.....

    Sometimes a day can too.

    Hmm, a complete change of tack, along with what looks like a change in writing style and language. Interesting.

    Sounds like they were trolling along for a bite. Or showed someone else the thread and their keyboard got hijacked.

  • Makes you wonder if he's asking the questions or being asked the questions. Also makes you wonder where the sudden improvement in his written expressions came from. If he's 2005 certified, shouldn't he have his own opinions about scheduling backup and maintenance?

    Definitely interested. I have a very overdeveloped sense of curiosity. Good thing I'm not a cat, I'd have lost all nine lives a LONG time ago! 🙂
