Porschekid and Jim:
I am not trying to defend anyone, make judgement or offer any excuses, but please remember that posting information is such a one-way communication. You can't judge someone's tone quality, facial expressions, inflections, humor and etc. Our non-verbals are such an important part of communication that just gets lost in our process and forum. So, at times this can be dangerous to truly understanding someone's intent.
There are a lot of great people on this forum, both of you included. But, sometimes we don't always come across as intended or perceive the message correctly. That's just the nature of this non true human-to-human communication process.
Just my 2 cents!
