Only got that impression from your negative feedback to my post informing
you that you could get the information yourself using a search engine.

Not BS - just a suggestion to get the info yourself using a search engine.

I have no idea what that means. I'm neither a friend nor a business partner
with Google - just a pleased user. When I said Google is your friend, it
meant that Google was a friendly way of getting the info on your own without
wasting other people's time. This is the age of information and you need
to know how to get at that information and Google is one great way.

If that were true, you would have gotten multiple hits indicating there
were more than one and then it might have been appropriate to ask for
more info.

That's just too inane to respond to. I thought you said you used
search engines ? Does that mean you're giving away information about
yourself ? You have a lot to learn about the internet.
