Well, you know what echo I was talking about it as you saw the whole thing.
 However, the instigator in that incident is now in my twit filter and it's
done and over with.  The sole reason I don't use OS/2 as my full-time OS is
that there are some things I have to do in Windows that I cannot do under
OS/2, even with ODIN (such as ham radio stuff).  But the weird thing is
that I've never had all the problems with Windows as so many other people
I've had did.  Maybe it's my experience that helps, I dunno.

They are and they can be vicious too.
