It is not a criticism in the least it is simple observation, don't go serious on us. We're easy to get along with and all of us occasionally misconstrue the meaning of other posters. You are new and so should understand that I'm getting to understand your writing style, is that reasonable? As Fran pointed out it is merely a shot a getting clarity, so take a chill, you don't have to please anyone. It is a matter of reaching a level between people on which mutual understanding takes place in order to have intellectual discourse, common ground interaction with an occasional food fight. lol I'm extremely content and have a happy life full of peace, love, and joy. Hope the same for you amigo!
