the point here is nt that I hate new software, but that his time could be MUCH better spent doing this for GEnie or even make it "learn" so it can use
various systems. (and No, I'm NOT on GEnie)

do it pretty well, too.  Just to set the record straight, though, I don't
have one single (or more than one) game on EITHER GS, or any other computer

topic police? here? I knew this place was too friendly.

how I choose to voice my opinion (and right or wrong, I can have it) is 
also my business.  I COULD have said "Gee, that's nice, but wouldn't your
time be better spent doing <this>?"  I didn't.. I was feeling cranky that 
day (as you seem to be today), and felt like putting things the way I did.
In any event, I was sucessful, as I got a response.

Also - not to put to broad a point on it, if you've been watching the net for any length of time, you should note that my posts are usually at least 
non-inflamitory.. once in a while I can't light up the night? Life is _ __.
