sorry, i didn't notice that you were opening other threads and thought 
that this was all you had to say about johny's complaints.

i still feel that there needs to be much better treatment of people 
enumerating problems than there is, including your reception of johny's 
post.  Being supportive of one another when we are trying to make 
improvements is essential.  The alternative, what is happening, is that 
people don't want to help because they just get yelled at.
