Gee Ross I'm hurt.
Actually I thought it quite obvious I was trying to accurately 
relate the situation and circumstances with scrupulous attention
to the honest and true account of circumstances as they existed.

 And I also said that due to the fact the hard drive cost $350 dollars
 and the terms and stipulations of meeting the manufacturers 3 year
 warrantee terms and requirements I wasn't in too big of a hurry to
 render the warrantee void and useless by registering the drive by sending 
 in the one original sales receipt via U.S. mail.
 ( run on sentence, my bad)

Really?
Of this I was completely in the dark.
Totally unaware.

Asides aside my account of the circumstances are precisely as I described them.

Well seeing as how the last indivdual who's opinion I actually cared about was
m,y now
deceased Pit Bull I can't really say that tears me up a whoe lots.

See this is how it is, the only person I really care about what they think of
me 
is myself and I attend to this by scrupulous attention to adhering to my code
of ethics
with scrupulous attention to being honest and forthright.

Being human I do on rare occassion fail to live up to my own high standards
but I modestly maintain that I do a fairly good job of it on te whole.

This is not to say I don't want those people I *respect* to like me.
OTOH you might be surprised to learn there are people in the world who lack
moral character and a good code of ethics and I'll telll you Ross old buddy 
i just can't get too worked up and upset about what they think of me.

Comprende good buddy?
Have I elucidated the situation as it exists sufficiently so all is made
clear to you?
Ta for now.

... Cassell, cleanup in aise three
