- Normally I do. However, Sabry was giving no indication that he was actually
- reading private e-mail. Since his system is NOT directly on the internet (or
- at least, there are no address records for SHEBIN.EG listed by the
- nameservers), as near as I could tell, e-mail sent to him simply wasn't
- reaching him.

-
- Gee, I guess this message from you is making the list more useful, too? By the
- way, when's the last time you posted any technical information to the list?
-

-
- When I suggest the Sabry get an interpreter, it was *NOT* intended as a flame.
- It was intended as a constructive suggestion. I was assuming that much of the
- trouble he's having was with his difficulties with the English language.

- >Carl... find a good tharapist!!! Maybe there is a reason that you felt the need

-
- It was addressed in general; as someone whose posts had included some of what
- the guy who posted that message objected to, I chose to answer him.

-
- Again, I ask you: When's the last time you posted anything useful to this
- group? Yeah, you're *REAL* impressive: Your first post is to whine. Really
- constructive.
-
- >BTW: Carl... I'll just laugh.....*MY* ego isn't attached to my keyboard!!!
-
- No more than your brain is attached in any way to your fingers.
