You sound sort of timid. Don't be. This is a pretty nice bunch of people around here. Feel free to speak your mind, no one will insult you for that. There are a few of us that like to think we are more right, at times, than others. I probably am one of those types. There is no intent to put you down if ideas should contrast with yours. Part of what I am talking about is due to the perceived feeling of public humiliation. As one of the chief pre- ators around here, I can tell you that this is nobody's real intent.
