Our country needs lots of help........... whewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: GuitarMan To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2008 5:40 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: AutoPatcherXP (anyone) Pat, Where was I? Oh yeah, GMail's webmail interface is fine, but I like to indent my paragraphs. Every time I do it on their webmail site, it selects the Send button instead of indenting the paragraph. Unfortunately, I type to fast to stop before the blasted thing sends the little I've typed so far, so you folks might occasionally just get a single paragraph at a time until I get used to slowing down at the end of each paragraph. LOL Ahhh, caught myself THAT time. Anyway, I wanted to chime in that you've received some bad info from that other group. For the most part, petitions have no need to be "Validated". The idea behind most of them is to let some entity know that a bunch of folks are not pleased. It may not change Microsoft's mind, but it certainly WILL get their attention if enough names are on it, especially if it's hosted by a well respected source like InfoWorld. Those who shoot them down as invalid are just trying to prevent the rest of us from causing positive change. It's VERY related to all of the people who say you should never vote for an underdog in an election because you're just throwing away your vote. Simple fact is, if everyone voted for who they REALLY want in office, the last 5 or 6 presidents would never have won and our country would have been much better for it. If this petition sounds like a good thing to you, go ahead and add your name to the list. After researching it a little too make sure it's legit, I'll be doing the same. :O) .
