I'm glad that you solved the problem! That's how I got to see your show, which was great fun !
But, dear, never ever browse the internet without an anti virus or a firewall.

What Cherub said -- you ALWAYS need some sort of A/V and
firewall if you are connected to the internet !!! I have seen
complaints from people that have disconnected their systems
from the network, re-installed windows and connected just long
enough to get the updates from Microsoft say they were
infected before they could get all the updates downloaded !!
It's a nasty place out there

That's great, but I sure wish you would have someone look at the two stuck keys on your keyboard. Caps Lock and the Exclamation Point.

Think of the last good novel that you read, which depicted excitement. Did they use all caps or slather on the exclamation points?

Nope....I didn't think so.

The use of such overt mechanisms might have been marginally acceptable in the early days of the net (decades ago) if even then. But now, they are typically associated with judgments that you probably are not overly interested in propagating. To whit:

1) ALL CAPS - Is perceived to be shouting and is judged to be quite rude. Most people that shout are not worth listening to. Politicians come to mind here.

2) To many !!!!!!!!!!!!'s. This just comes across as either having a broken keyboard, or being rather immature and childish, in the sense of if one is good, 50 must be better. Most adults know better.

How about trying to write emotionally engaging prose that implicitly draws the reader in with it's inherent excitement instead?

Then folks will marvel about your story telling ability (useful skill for PSP shows too. ), your communication skills and insightful commentary, rather than possibly thinking you rude or worse still, an air-head.

My 2 cents worth, since I couldn't help it.

First, because I am a lady, let me apologize for too many caps and exclamation points.
I never ever meant to come across as immature of childish. And I am not a politician.
I am an adult, and I can promise you that I know better now.
One more thing though, I am NOT (yes I yelled a little) rude, or worse still, an air-head.
I really believe you could of steered me in the right direction without hurting my feelings about it.

So, still friends?

Didn't you spot the smiley faces in strategic locations?

It wasn't my intention to hurt your feelings. Just to point out what kind of impression you might be giving off to others is all.

But it did get your attention, non?

So, still friends?

What did I write that would lead you to believe that we weren't?

Okay, all is forgotten.
I live and learn.
Thanks.

Perhaps "honed to a fine edge" would be a better way of stating it
