And do we have the right to twist others' communications to suit our own nefarious agendas? I make no apologies for being direct, nor do I stand quietly by when the expertise of a member (and there are many on this list whose knowledge I've admired and from whom I've learnt much) is called into question because factually correct answers are not what a questioner wanted to hear. Moreover, I believe that subsequent responses bore out my thinking.
In re-reading the message to which I'd originally responded, I discovered I've also been accused of giving platitudes in answer to serious questions. I'm not into platitudes (I'm a communicator by profession and regard such a remark as a personal insult), I make every effort to share what scant knowledge I have directly and promptly and I don't ask for help unless I've done all I can for myself (the odd panic notwithstanding). In closing, I suppose I naively thought that, should someone repudiate any knowledge I might have on any given subject, that someone out there would stick their neck out for me in the way I did mine. Guess I was wrong. Thanks to all those from whose knowledge I've benefited.
