[AccessD] OT: Firewall

No Frank, Charlotte is saying you must have a sense of humour to choose that
name. Many have their names chosen for them.

A friend whose father's last name was Pipes, his father-in-laws name was
Dwain which became his middle name and first name was David but he had red
hair. It was not long before everyone knew him as Rusty Dwain Pipes. He
works in the trades as an electrician but everyone assumes he is a Plumber.


My daughter's boyfriend, a fellow from Demark, whose family name is Andersen
and with a family name on the other side of Christian had parents with the
humour to call him Hans.

Actually, I have been on this list for about 4 or 5 years now.  I mostly
lurk.  Until a network/systems question comes up.  Then I add my
educated input.

I *DO* take it seriously when someone makes assumptions about me or
something I have said based on little or no information.  That is
exactly what John C and Rocky did.  Because I have a "humorous" mail
domain I must be an idiot.  And because my document is 100 pages with
screen shots it must be too difficult to understand.  80% of the pages
of my document have screen shots.  Of that 80% about 80% of those have
five or less lines of text.  Of the remaining 20% about 5% of those
have a second screen shot on the page.  In other words, without the
table of contents, cover pages, revision pages, and screen shots, my
document is less than 30 pages.  As a reference, your average stereo
assembly instructions are between 5 and 50 pages depending on the
complexity of the equipment involved.  Your average VCR manual is 60+
pages.  Yout average cell phone manual is also 60+ pages.

Judging people, and things, without having all of the facts is one of my
pet peeves.
