NO HELP FROM THE TRUCKER'S HELPER

One thing I noticed in this thread is the use of more ambiguous terms rather than absolute terms. I bring this up as a stimulus to thought only in that we need to all be aware when interacting with each other that terminology makes a difference.
"Several" emails were sent versus three emails were sent. Often terms such as couple, few, several and many are used. Most people would interchange two and couple. Many people would put few next after couple and consider few to cover 3, 4, 5 and maybe 6. Several to a lot of people would be anywhere from 6 to 11 when it would be supplanted by dozen or many. Everyone uses a different personal dictionary for ambiguities. While everyone would probably agree on couple, trio and dozen there would usually be differences on few, several and many if given a paper and told to write a number next to those terms.
I don't have the computer experience Greg has to comment on technical issues regarding this or any other software. I haven't installed it or tried uninstalling it. I'm not commenting on anything technical, just that during discussions such as this there can be misunderstandings based on semantics and definitions.

BROOMPILOT - anyone smart enough to ride a Harley is smart enough to use Truckers Helper. Reinstall it and get the latest online updates (we've made several improvements over the past couple years since you got the program). Then if you have a problem with anything give us a call or post your questions on our forum and we'll help you get it running.

LDB - well said. Using a number instead of a generalization eliminates the possibility of a misunderstanding.
"On Saturday I emailed them 3 times" is a clear statement of fact -
"I emailed them several times" is open to interpretation and will be interpreted different ways by different people.
For something that started out so negatively I think this has turned into an interesting thread. There are some really good ideas being expressed.

Maybe I am a little too tired from moving furniture and not thinking straight but I am wondering what you are saying here. I am not offended or anything like that, just curious - tired and want to make sure I don’t insult anyone.
Hey ATeam, I agree – XP = Virus.
