Donn, Donn, could you show me where I
once used patronizing language here? You read me wrong. Maybe it's the medium of the Net, where language is written and read in different ways from normal speech or face to face conversations. I can assure you Donn that I am
NOT a patronizing person, never have been and never will be, it's just not my nature to be that way. BUT I realize that online
some people might take some of my words the wrong way, especially since they were convinced from the git go that I was a bad guy from the other side of the tracks --
he loves papers books! Watch your back! -- and therefore not to be trusted and therefore to read all my remarks in your own online mindset translation of patronizing-talk.
I don't blame anyone here. I know you are a great bunch. I know I am part of the great bunch. But it's the nature of this beast -- the GREAT ONLINESPHERE -- that makes friendly banter sometimes impossible when people come to the forum with pre-conceived notions about newcomers from the other side of the tracks.....
