Thanks for taking the time...

You're welcome. I wasn't trying to be hostile at all. Honestly, I was just trying to put things in a different perspective for you. Your original post came across as passive-aggressive and judgmental, at least to me and I assume to the others who posted replies, and that's what bothers people.

Now, I'm willing to believe that some of the reason for the post coming across as such was because you posted it, and we all (GC'ers) know you to be philisophically anti-contact. But I also have a hunch that if the exact same text had been posted under another well-known poster's name, it would still have been met with hostility. Perhaps not as much.

... I do have a tendency to phrase things in a way that sounds... somewhat flippant, or unnecessarily dramatic, so that might have been misconstrued as hostility somewhere, in which case, you have my apologies. But that's how I make my points.
