Reply:Marebeer, you told me in your unsolicited e-mail, that you were a teacher looking for people's opinions, but it looks like you are using the Yahoo answer board for help with your homework. Are your really a teacher ? It seems strange that a teacher would ask for help understanding simple memo's and such.



And you e-mailed me and said that I wasn't too bright.
