I hope this will serve as an object lesson for him and for each of us. Bill, as near as I can tell, meant only to make a good natured jibe, with perhaps a little justified exasperation at the burst of OT and nearly OT traffic we've just experienced. Yet he offended Deanna, and even his attempt to explain himself falls far short of mending things. It is *EXTREMELY* hard to be delicate enough in your phrasing and choice of words to come across as you intend in this text-only medium. For that reason, it's necessary both to be unnaturally cautious in what you write *AND* to grow a thicker skin so you do not take things personally until it's knock-down black-eye obvious they were meant that way! I'm glad the goat enthusiasts discovered each other. I hope Robb has gotten a lot more to think about and will not get discouraged that his RA is still advancing, given that he's just begun the process of healing.
