"In retrospect I should of worded this original question differently and refrained from insulting comments ... With that said I am extremely disappointed by how you responded"
When people are rude the best path to is to ignore them. But in some cases if you ignore it, you invite more of the same behavior while they escalate & harm your reputation. At some point it makes sense to skip the b/s and be direct. It saves everyone time.
Life is finite. You get so many breathes.
"I am even willing to make a donation to SEOBook"
I never asked for a donation to me. Our support software requests donations given to http://www.charitywater.org/ which is a cheap way to really make a difference in someone's quality of life.
