Thank you. I've assumed that was a rhetorical question.

Both Mr Lipman and Malke post regular replies in this group. That is a fact.
No-one is under any obligation to explain anything nor, indeed, to tell the
truth. In my opinion, witholding an explanation merely mudies the water, so
to speak.

Withholding an explanation could also mean that there is nothing to add
to the request or that there is nothing the person is willing to state
about it for several reasons.

I'm sure you are right!

Maybe *you* will comment on whether or not you feel AumHa is a 'safe' place
to visit when one is seeking help and advice on computer related matters?

I make no suggestion that any site is safe, and only state that sites
are unsafe if I've personally confirmed them to be unsafe or practice
bad ethics - like pc butts 1 . com (see sig).

I have never been to the site you ask about, so I can't comment.

A very sensible stance to take! FYI, your link to the speedguide forum
article did not work for me (either from here of from the Techaarena thread
here: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=978738

It often appears - in Malke an PABear responses in particular. I'm surprised
that you haven't been sufficiently curious to take a look! ;)
