Re: Num Sort Descending (OT)

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 56069
interpreted = N
texte = Let's give Joe D the jerk of the day award for making people fell like crud.

I'm even feeling bad right now reading this.  In the time it took him to type out this blasting the problem could have been helped or solved.  Work together here guys, don't make fun of people, don't chastise them for doing something simple wrong or not following procedure, maybe they just don't know... So tell them in a nice manner.  Better yet, you might want to contact them directly so they don't feel so ashamed by being blasted on the group.

This is not the first time that a someone has verbally attacked on the group, but this email was enough to make me chime up and say something.

I'm disgusted right now.
