[rescue] We are stumped... (SSH between Powerbook & Solaris box)

[Ken Hansen]

Amy,
  I don't know you, and I don't judge you.

I do respond to the things said to me, and your post struck me a certain 
way.

It struck other people in a similar way, so it's not just me. That 
doesn't make me right and you wrong, it just means I was not alone in 
that reaction...

I amnot trying to change you, I am trying to say that if you tell some 
one to go read the "Driving for Dummies" book it can come across as 
insulting, unless you surround it with an reason as to *why* this is a 
good thing to do - without a reason, the implied reason is that the 
person should read the book because they *are* a dummy.

SSH new.

Never said anything different.

Thank you, I was wondering how I felt.
