I am honestly not sure what to make of you.  I don't know if you are
apathetic or just self absorbed.

I do not use Totem.  I *never* have.  ***Repeat*** I do not use totem.

I only installed it and tested the web page since I believed that nobody
else had tested it.

So, I installed and tested *only* for *you*.

I *Will Not* make that same mistake again.

Good luck....
