Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Kenda Hi there - I know this issue is a few days old - but I just saw it along with several subsequent posts and I felt they needed addressing.... The message I have copied below was meant for me and not you.... it was in reference to my post agreeing with you on different PS issues.... Please do not take any of this personally as this post was obviously meant directly in reference to my post to you that I have attached at the bottom in blue. I just wanted to make sure that you knew it was intended for me and not in reference to anything you said before anymore fireworks fly about the issue... I just was getting caught up on my messages and saw this response to mine in which I will respond to as well - I just wanted to clear the air as far as you were concerned so there was not any further issues here. I will address the message to me as is necessary to avoid any future misunderstandings. sorry you got mixed up in this conversation.... I apologize, Kenda.
