Sudden problem with Texshop

[David Edward Bruschi]

Dear Mr. de Souza,

unfortunately since we are neither friends nor colleagues, the 
traditional and correct approach of referring to people using their last 
name and title as a form of respect and courtesy remains in place, and 
rightly so.
The modern fake and artificial pretence of democratization and 
equalization of everybody's position, status and relationship in life is 
just another consumistic whim of a capricious West where there are not 
enough real problems. We can see the consequences in the American 
campuses, for example.
Thereby, I confide in your understanding and I will maintain a 
professional and respectful distance until a deeper or working 
relationship is established.

Regarding the problem mentioned in my query, I have solved it by 
formatting my computer.
Texshop now works. I hope this does not occur again.

Best,

David Edward Bruschi
