[nfbcs] Microsoft Excel support in JAWS

Thu Oct 6 04:01:00 UTC 2011

Bryan,

    I do admit that that particular email to which you are refering was 
rather short; I was probably in a hurry when I wrote it, but I will try in 
the future to write better emails. Regardless, I did not mean, implecitly or 
explicitly, that your technique was the source of the problem, and I 
sincerely apologize if that is how it came across. However, I do consider it 
rude to call me MSP, which I assume stands for Miss Smarty Pants (please 
tell me if it stands for something else).
