It was just a request, the OP is absolutely free to ignore it. I personally would not expect anything, but if the poster had a preference, it would be great if he could share it and some reasoning for it. Either way, I do recognize the OP has contributed generously and I know did not say this before, thanks to the OP for the info. >> If the OP had nothing >>more to share then that's every bit as fair IMO. > > Nothing wrong with an FYI post. Why not investigate the apps yourself? > After all, the links were provided and you already know that they're > freeware apps of the PDF genre. True, nothing wrong with the FYI post, absolutely nothing, as there is nothing wrong with asking the OP if they have a preference, or if they any specific info to share. Again, it's just a question. -- HK

Virtually none of his retorts as such are innocent. You are most welcome to your position on that. I chose, in this instance, to see the other POV. I thought it innocent enough. -- HK

If the OP doesn't want to or has nothing more to share, well that's okay too. -- HK

There is also room for can you share anything specific posts as well. It's not a demand, but a question, a request for more info if you'd care to share. -- HK |
