This Checksix guy, he reminds me of what I've been doing the last week. I, unfortunately, have had to work on a helpdesk this past week since some people went on vacation and they needed to fill the void. I have received more calls that I though I would were people are angry with ME. Absolutely angry. yell, and everything. I didn't do anything, but they don't care. I'm a vent for them. They yell and yell and have even called me names. I feel sorry for people like this. Someone who can call a complete stranger these horrible things is not someone I would like to associate myself with. This Checksix guy obviously has problems in life and his attitude on the list shows that. I'm sure in person he is not the most pleasant person to be around. If he acts this way on the forum to complete strangers, imagine how he is in person. Also, Checksix, if you are reading this, if you are going to slam people and be rude, at least be a man and give us your real name. And don't give me this "I don't want to put my name on the internet because i don't trust it" bull shit. My name is Erik Geerdink, I live in Holland Michigan.
