Default Two warnings and a tip. (light sigh)

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your expert and friendly advice. It was very
helpful and should prevent my posting any more unchecked and misinformed
input to rcw. I had no idea of the damage my misguided efforts could do
to this fine newsgroup.


After my trip to the woodshed, I meekly visited Snopes and found that
the hoax was originally circulated in Portuguese and later translated
into English. Never did trust those Portuguese--English translations.


Snopes did warn me to be careful re _all PowerPoint presentations, so I
take comfort in my awful warning not being _totally inaccurate. I don't
know how to check on Snoke's validity, so I best not post another
unchecked PowerPoint warning. I heard that "Power tends to corrupt and
absolute power corrupts absolutely". Hope that's not another hoax.

I truly regret having contributed to your balding. My tip re the
concrete anchors apparently got lost in the consternation about my naive
warning. I hope my tip was acceptable, even if it wasn't helpful.
