Folks, the overriding message is here is that courtesy breeds courtesy, whereas contempt breeds contempt. We're all overworked and stressed; it doesn't make a lot of sense to vent your frustrations on the very person who might conceivably be able to help you deal with an intrusion. Remember that Golden Rule thing most of us learned as children (by one name or another). Like most true wisdom, it's simple but effective. Cheers, RGF Robert G.
