OK, you are a moderator. Having posted on many forums over the years and having run into many interlocutors who emulated moderators as closely as possible but only got in everyone's way, I admit I found the thread a little annoying at first take. I have also had enough hassles with ad ware and other things like browser helpers from hell mess my machines up in recent years, so I was familiar with that tool bar by name. Ad ware, parasiteware and the likes gives me hives just thinking about it.
So if I transfered annoyance at Xupiter.com, Lop.com or gator onto you... OPPS! I apologize.
(Even us iconoclast types know better then to terminally annoy a moderator, even if they had also complimented their work.) This certainly was an experiance for the books, I'm at least glad I have good aim when I shoot myself in the big toe. ;-)
You neither annoyed me nor shot yourself in the foot. You were being skeptical, which a good conservative should be. Regards.
