Hi Thorsten,

I had a long message that I spent about 30 minutes on and Karin came over and
hit the Escape key. Does anyone know how to recover what you typed after that is
done in IE?

In any case, the bottom line of what I said is that I think there is a double
standard for you between content and personal stuff, regardless of your denials
in your previous message.

When you know it is Chris, I have never seen an unfriendly word (or even a
disagreement for that matter) from you to him. When you did not know it was
Chris (when it was Herman Hesse), you were so venomous to him that many of those
posts were deleted. I even recall him posting things such as "I did not mean to
offend or insult you. I respect you a lot." (since he knew it was you and did
not mean to antagonize you) and you blasted him in response (the phrase that
comes to mind is that "you treated him like dirt").

This means that you do differentiate betweens friends and others, and you do
treat them differently. Not based on content, but on who they are and your
impression of them, regardless of what you say.

And I do not mind you defending a friend. We need more of that in this world.
But, defending abusive actions from a friend seems like a mis-service to him.

JMO. I do not wish to get into a "fight" over it.

KarinsDad :)

PS. I agree that a lot of programmers here fight for no good reason. I sometimes
do not understand it.
