Shame...I made it through 4 years on FR without being personally attacked by a complete stranger without a clue.

Your conceit is outstripped only by your complete lack of facts.

Relictele,

I apologize. You may indeed make more money than I do although I am not going to get into a “you show me yours and I’ll show you mine” discussion.

My comment was very wrongly worded,and not intended as a personal attack but I have grown increasingly sensitive to the “flaky” description aimed at me and the people I work with every day. What we do is critical for the success of the enterprise and we are, on the whole, a highly educated and well-remunerated group.

(On the other hand, the fact that you have been on FR 4 years and never been personally attacked is astonishing. For most of us it is a daily occurrence.)

In what way did Newheart attack YOU??? What Newheart said in post 44 was:

"As one of the flaky types in the “art” department (who by the way probably makes more money than you do) the reason “why ‘no Macs’ is no longer a defensible IT strategy” is because it was NEVER defensible.

The usual argument is “security.” True enough. IT fears Macs because we don’t need them the way PC users do.

That was a comment. His comment about "probably" making more money than you is less offensive than your generalization that people in the art department being "flaky" (Dictionary definition: Crazy or eccentric) is hardly an attack.

If that's an attack, then you haven't seen some of the attacks on Mac users on FR.
