		<description>This is my 2nd account (alt PID: 65135697) and the more I play the more I favor the AT kit.  Overall these are excellent tips.  I didn't read these when I first started playing (which is a bummer) but have picked each of these lessons up over time.

There is one more item that I would like to add to the AT recommendations:

The author stated:

"...Of course, your objective is the complete elimination of the threat. If you see a resupply crate near the vehicle, make that your primary target. You absolutely must destroy the resupply crate. It is impossible to destroy armor by yourself without neutralizing the supply crate. ..."

My opinions:

Agreements - The Supply Crate should be a high priority.
Disagreements - It is possible for one, lone, AT to take down a fully healed armor being healed by supplies.  Tanks have multiple weak spots.  a) Treads (front and back) b) Back end of the tank c) Just underneath the turret

( http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Battlefield_2/Vehicle_hit_points )

Normally a tank will take 3 rockets to go down... however, two consecutive tread shots will yield the same results.  When a fully healed tank is next to supplies it will take 3 tread shots (somewhat difficult, but possible) to down the tank.  

A lone AT can down a fully healed tank being repaired with out destroying the source of the repairs (beit from engineers or supplys).

		<description>I'm a Western Digital guy. I have return 2 WD drives without any problem (Canada). Each time, they sent me an advanced replacement, and I had 30 days to return the defective drive. WD pays for shipping to get the drive to me, and I pay for shipping to get the defective drive to them.</description>

		<description>Dear Verizon Billing Department:

It is midnight now, 3: 25 AM, July 13, 2008, but I am still up trying to send you this letter by email. I hope this effort can be fruitful---at least I tried my best to be careful. As a long-term, loyal Verizon customer, I have been using your phone and internet service for more than 7 years. However, there are several obvious mistakes made by your department personal recently that are weakening my belief of continuing with your service. 
My family and I left Florida in the middle of June, 2008, and I called Verizon on June 23rd, 2008 to CANCEL BOTH MY PHONE AND the DSL INTERNET SERVICE WITH VERIZON. The Verizon representative DISCONNECTED BOTH MY PHONE AND the INTERNET SERVICE, and issued me a Reference Number.
However, I just received a bill from Verizon asking me to pay for the period EVEN AFTER THE CANCELLATION OF MY ACCOUNT IN Florida, quite a few mistakes: 
On the beginning of May 2008, Verizon disconnected my internet service by mistake (as admitted by the representative after 6 times of phone conversation), due to this unexpected error, my family and I lost both the internet and THOUSANDS of important emails that are both job and personal related---imaging our feeling! Once I found this out, Verizon apologized to me and offered me to reactivate my internet on May 23rd 2008 (TWO WEEKS LATER), and gave me one month FREE internet service with FREE reactivation, because it was NOT my mistake to activate the internet for the 2nd time. Therefore, the following Verizon online charges are NOT CORRECT:

A)	Verizon online service May23 â€“ Jun 12, $14.90---May 23rd â€“ Jun 23rd should be free for me as promised by Verizon. 
B)	Verizon online service Jun 13 â€“Jul 12, $ 21.99---I CALLED AND CANCELLED my internet service on June 23rd, 2008. 
C)	Shipping and activation fee: $14.99---should be free as promised by Verizon.     

As mentioned earlier, because Verizon disconnected my internet by mistake, I lost THOUSANDS of crucial email communications, INCLUDING THOSE JOB-RELATED!!!
Please correct these repeated mistakes and stop charging me on these services that had been cancelled long time ago.

Whoever reads this email/letter, please forward it to the people that are in charge these issues. I appreciate your professionalism and carefulness.

I am a resident working in a busy regional hospital treating cancer patients more than 6 days a week and I work over 12 hours every day; it is extremely difficult for me to sneak out during the weekday to call your department to discuss these mistakes; plus every call takes at least 20 minutes. This is why I had to write and to send you this long email/letter in the midnight---because I am working all day even on Saturdays, I have not many options other than resorting to the consumer report agents and/or my Attorney.</description>

		<description>I have consistently found HSBC's rates to be worse than GMAC.  HSBC is simply a pain to deal with.  I have since closed all my accounts with them.  Problem solved!</description>

		<description>Jason,

You know you can open the categories list in Moneydance, click or double-click on the category, and review the activity?   Access is through "Tools&#124;Edit Categories" or from the Accounts pull down icon (upper left house and assuming checked option "File &#124; Preferences &#124; General &#124; Show All Accounts in Popup").  I occasionally edit them directly for work arounds, though the help file discourages it.
