I got mail from someone named Phil Earnhardt.  His return
address was unlike any address I have ever seen.  This mail
is to all, but particularly to you because I feel I should
respond.  I tried to mail but the mail was returned.

My response to the help offered was obnoxious.  Sorry for
the offense.  It was not unique, however.  I modeled it
after others like it, which is an explanation, not an
excuse.

In retrospect, I should have taken what I got, the good with
the bad, and stay quiet.  However, while I was not right for
posting such anger, I still think those who posted
misinformation should be careful and those who told me that
yes, I had a problem, wihtout offering anything close to
informative, would have served me better by not responding.
Yes, for the type of service I seemed to expect, I should
hire someone.  Sorry about that.  But I think my
thoughtlessness was equal to those who responded, not
greater.  It is not an excuse but rather a point on which I
hope you agree.
