What calls were mean/dumb? I would like to take them into consideration. I am not trying to be too much of an ass when I do calls.

How do I make myself look like an ass when I did that call? No I don't believe I went and met the chick. She wasn't going to go to the coffee shop anyway.

The technical end as far as what? Also, what call (I can't really remember, did I talk about the Linux kernel a lot in? I just used it, most likely, because it would go way over their head.

Nope. Sorry. But I did notice you found one. Is it working well for you, or did you still want me to look for one. I know that before I wasn't able to find one, but there might be some in development and have gotten out on the Internet since the last time that I have looked.

Yes. I called the number she gave me, but no one answered so I didn't get anywhere with that. As far as the e-mail, I have it on my AOL buddy list.

Thanks for your comments and criticism. I appreciate it greatly. Be sure to keep me posted on your views about my other calls.

Thanks again!
