Dear No0p,

Don't know about being sophomoric. I might choose to consider it a 
compliment. The last time I was a sophomore was back in '61. You do the 
arithmetic. And if you chose to make it an insult, by calling me 
ignorant and bombastic, I shall consider the source and ignore it.

As to the substance of your remarks, begging off giving advice because 
an application is "third party" in a list devoted to open source 
applications is just a little off target. Were I faced with such a 
question, I would admit ignorance, and not elect to write an impolite 
response.

This information, coupled with a friendly word would have been much 
nicer, don't you think? Although I tried to explain that I wanted to 
avoid additional lists, because of the time it takes.

Perhaps I've forgotten, but it seems to me I said somewhere that the FAQ 
was uninformative about the question of hours and dates.

Please don't make this a "casus belli" to justify feelings of 
aggression. I appreciate your advice. Perhaps the wording might have 
been gentler.
