Trying to goad John into losing his temper?

Why not goad someone who deserves it such as Hummingbird who tries to wreck
everything if he can't force changes which no one wants?

You could goad me but it isn't as much fun because I don't take your bait or
lose my temper.

Not sure if this is worth mentioning at this point, but I started
reading this morning about a tool offered to clean up old versions
of dotnet here? http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8904493.aspx

I'd definitely say your reply is relevant and appreciated as well!

I removed dotnet 2 from my system using a combination of the normal
uninstall routine and Total Uninstall. I wish I'd used Revo Uninstaller
to do the uninstall routine though. Still, I think I'm pretty well
cleaned up at this point.

The .NET Framework Cleanup Tool is definitely worth bookmarking for
future use. I guess I'll archive a copy of the program too, but since
it's under continual development, simply downloading the most current
version is a better idea. OTOH, having any copy of it is better than
nothing.

Thanks again, Oldphart.
