Paul, the two other postings of the announcement were NOT posted by me.
I posted the information just "once". As indicated by someone else, I
don't see anyone flaming Adobe for the massive discussion of the "commercial"
product ATM that discussed how it worked, what it does, what affects it has
and who remembers all what else. So for those that get into the "Holier
than thou" mode.. Give me a break. Most everyone here has broken the so called
rules I suspect in one way or another....

My only intention was to pass on the upgrade information and the new features.
I still contend that if the News software worked better, many duplicated
postings and answers could be eliminated. For those that wanted and needed
the upgrade to White Knight information, I did them a service, for you Paul,
I don't know if you cared in the least. Try the "n" key next time, works
great for me when I don't care to read something I am not interested in.

nuff said....perhaps to much...but I feel better now...
