[blindlaw] Nokia 6682vi

Sun Apr 13 16:46:53 CDT 2008

Albert thank you for your unsolicited advice. Because of how it was 
formulated and submitted, I must inform you that it was received, promptly 
rejected and discarded accordingly. I can't recall since when I expressed 
that I had a time management issue for which I needed your assistance.

This is my last message on this topic, I believe I have made my point. Any 
further responses would simply be a waste of my time.
