I didn't take it as attitude....I took it as him telling the rest of us a

I readily admit I still don't know everything about the AS/400.  Fortunately
I never had to deal with an attitude like Mr. Coulter's or I would still be
struggling to get somewhere!  Sometimes all it takes is one question to help
point you in the right direction.  That apparently is something Mr. Coulter
has never had to experience.  How special!
