Web framework for static pages

[Morten W. Petersen]

Hi "DL Neil".

I find your argumentation combative and provoking.

I have an ex that has made my life difficult for the last 6 years, blocking
me from seeing my kids, she acts in a similar way.

I don't have the time, energy or the will to bring more of that stuff into
my life, so I won't reply to this type of email.
