Re: MTDesk is down again!

You've said it in a nutshell Lizzie. We may not like a lot of things, and
most of us have problems with other people doing certain things. But we are
not in our homes, we are in public places and there are certain things we're
just going to have to put up with and get over it. We can only control our
own domains and persons. Very well said.
