[ILUG] Replacement suggestions for Exchange outlook web email please.... [totally pedantic response to Colm Buckley... completely off topic... most likely you don't want to read this]

[Anders Holm]

Dear Brian.

I really don't think Colm was in any way rude in his response to you. And
you do have a weird way of quoting. Whatever mail client you use, though,
wouldn't necessarily mean you'd have to be a "Senior Developer" in order for
you to use it properly, does it?

No need for this flame at all. Keep that to yourself, please. It doesn't
really fit in this forum (once again).

Best Regards

Anders Holm
