| schestowitz | "I agree with both sides. The point of those medals is to reward people who've risked/paid a high price for something. Not necessarily something worth risking it for... but that's another debate. Whether such a medal should exist at all is up for grabs, but it definitely shouldn't be put ahead of something for people who lost a leg trying to do their job." | Mar 30 13:48 |

| schestowitz__ | No, that was my fault. Like Cory (BB blogger), I use text files for almost everything and multiple versions are multiple blocks of text. | Apr 04 11:15 |

| schestowitz__ | I use Outlook online for one client (I have to), to post as the client itself. Outlook makes nothing special, except adding to RAM and CPU usage... not to mention privacy issues. | Apr 04 11:15 |
