RE: BraNch CalCulaTion [bcc][faked-from][mx][spf]

Hey Bruce....

I can appreciate you wanting to stick up for Chris. In my humble opinion he is alittle more than simply direct. I think you'd agree with that. I just don't see the sense it being abusive. I can understand your comments relative to being PC, but being courteous is a common thread through most cultures. (I'm sorry that you feel like you need to filter out my comments)......but I would agree with you that a rejection notice is better tack........ if we cant find the energy to answer in an manner that benefits us all?

it's your group....how would you like it to be?
