Re: "open ", "Save", or "Save As" dialog box defaults
My entire post to you was a challenge to do the right thing. I didn't call
you an A** hole, I asked you if you ARE one, because the evidence pointed
that way, and challenged you to prove that you aren't. You failed.
For the record, you and Ron "settled (your) differences" by Ron mildly
chastising you for your absolutely rude post, and even following up with
you. That's the kind of guy Ron is, but it doesn't excuse your rudeness. You
should thank him for that, in addition to apologizing for the initial rude
post.
FYI, the MVP Award is for past contributions. It is clearly stated that our
only "obligation" is to an NDA. We are otherwise free to act and post as we
see fit. Which is what I've ALWAYS done. These days I have a short fuse and
I go off on people who piss me off, mostly ingrates and willful idiots. But
that's only one out of every ten or twenty times. The rest of the time, I
"behave" myself.
If MS decides I don't deserve the MVP Award this year because of my attitude
towards idiots and a** holes, that's their right. Meanwhile, I've dumped
"political correctness" entirely. I'm tired of it, and whether I get the
Award this year or not, I'll STILL be here, saying whatever I please,
helping people who need and deserve it, calling out jerks about their rude
behaviors, and even going starkers just for the fun of it. I KNOW when I'm
being an A** hole and it's entirely deliberate.
But this wasn't one of those cases, and if you had any common sense and
honesty you'd know that.
