QuoteLemon Drop That was an ugly excuse for political reporting, even with push back from the moderator and other panelists. CNN's current agenda is attracting right-wing viewers. Integrity is not a priority. They're calling it "centrist." ...And they're using Faux News as their "centrist" model.

Re: Finder asks for password to move files to another folder?? - 19 days ago

Is the problem only occurring on MS Word docs now? Word's read-only compatibility mode is for docs created in ancient (and allegedly less-secure) versions of Office/Word. Once you save-as in the new file-format (.docx instead of .doc) the problem should go away. Did you upgrade your Office suite recently?

Re: Why we own guns - 20 days ago

QuoteSmote SCOTUS is very reluctant to reverse a prior decision. It doesn't happen very often at all. It sets up the belief that a group of SC justices make mistakes, and can over rule those before them at will. So unless the law changes drastically, the rulings can't change, according to my understanding. Once again, any lawyers want to chime in with their understanding of how SCOTUS operate
