Neil,
I think what stephen was trying to say was that when you have a question on
a list, answering the question with a possible solution giving the utmost
respect to the questioner is probably the most preferable way for all on the
list to get along!
While your response may have been accurate, it wasn't that clear or that
constructive imho for someone who was asking a perfectly reasonable
question. We do appreciate that you have certain skills and that you like
to share your knowledge of those and for that we applaud you! However, as
with all of us on this list sometimes (me included), we can forget that we
are part of a community and a good one at that and that we are all people
with feelings. Let's all try and recall that we are trying to help people,
and showing respect for those that know less than us in a certain area may
be a good thing to remember.
Paul
