You know, Don, if I wanted to be you-like to you, I could jump all over your
ass and point out that you're some sort of troglodytic half-wit because you
can't tell the difference between a browser like Firefox and a news/email
client like Thunderbird. Yeah, they're both Mozilla, but I'm sure it's very
confusing.

But I won't do that.

Oh, and nice touch with the spelling flames elsewhere in the thread. Those
are *so* challenging to come up with. And I'm sure you feel at least a good
inch taller now and much more attractive to women.

The guy's obviously green, has only the beginnings of an idea, but I give
him points for asking for thoughts before, say, sinking $800,000 into a
brewery and kitchen. Hell, you should know from a brewpub owner you're
familiar with about a three-hour drive south of you that someone who's open
to any advice at all, instead of "fearlessly" plunging into the abyss is
miles ahead of the game.

> And you've gotta be willing to learn.

Usually asking questions is the first really, really good sign of being
willing to learn. Sort of like the guy did when he first posted.

Yeah, it is. Your schools may have been different, but the generally
recognized approach to help people negotiate those curves is not to jump up
their ass for simply posing a question.

You might want to take your own advice.
