Hey! Are you trying to read what you think he said?
Or did you look at the written word and assume that what it said is what
he meant to say?
What I write is often misunderstood because people who think they know me
read what they think I am saying. When I write anonymously this doesn't
happen.
Perhaps we think Roger's personality is such that whatever remarks he
writes are presumed negative. Awfully PRESUMPTUOUS, in my opinion.
Roger doesn't need my defense, but I used this opportunity to get this
pet peeve off my chest.
Thanks
Paulette
