    There is no mis-information on the original message. My purpose for 
writing the message was to see if anyone felt the same as me about the 
problem caused by checking all the choices in the thing.

    Within minutes I got RDay's first message that said nothing about 
his approval or dis-approval of the way Users and Groups worked.

    It was all about how stupid I am. I do not stand for that kind of 
crap. RDay is the worst on this list to jump a person.
