28 If I am that big of a headache, so sorry I came here. I used to wonder
29 why more people didn't try to help people that use Linux, I beginning to
30 see why. You join a list and have to turn yourself upside down to
31 please everyone else. It gives me a headache now.

53 Sounds fine to me. I came here to see if I could help someone. I guess
54 I'm to big hearted and to easy to get taken advantage of. Oh, I'm the
55 boss of me. When I have had enough, I'm done.

57 Good Bye. Sorry to be such a headache.
