Re: Is this code professional product? (was The Code not in ELA form)

["Tom" <planeacres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wonderful, isn't it Earl? There are no complaints being sent with any reference
to "that is my code". Only complaining vendors and their brainwashed assistants.
Not one statement of fact, pure accusitive conjecture. Wonder what is behind (no
pun intended) these statements ?
See U
