Really it's me who should apologize. As for the link your welcome!
Yes,  you could say that I answered my own question! I posted in a
manner totally unbecoming for me and towards you and this forum.
All I was saying to Robert whom seemed very distressed at downloading Genius 2
from this site which may or may not have permission to offer these programms,
was to calm down and not feel that he did anything wrong by an honest accident!
To me ignorance was not the issue for him or myself of not having all the facts.
Although ignorance of the facts as you say is no excuse. I was not thinking in
that vane, rather I was thinking this fellow was bieng to hard on himself.
Hence my reply to Robert.
Yesterday just was'nt my day Tina! I'm sorry I reacted the way I did.
I felt slighted and hit back with insults. I apologize for my insults, I
hope you'll accept.

Best Regards,
  Terry McCracken
