To Tony W.:

I don't know.........I just can't figure it out.

I have re-read the posts for the discussion that you abruptly and angrily
discontinued, and I just don't see how my posts were insulting or lacking
in intelligence. For the points I asked for clarification on, I didn't
think I was rude - and I certainly didn't bash anyone.

I don't see how my posts could have been interpreted the way you described
them. So - even though I was the main responder to your opinions (with my
own), and even though mine was the last one you read before sending the
angry response that said the people arguing with you were not intelligent
(!), I have to assume you were referring to someone else. But I can't be
sure - because you didn't specify - you just kind of lumped everyone who
responded into the non-intelligent bin - I guess because they didn't agree
with you (?). That seems fairly harsh to me - but - I might have
misunderstood - or you might have just been angry and didn't make it clear
enough.

At any rate - I hope you are able to get over your anger. I certainly
wasn't angry with you!

And you are right - Annie's post was nice.

Best wishes,
Roger Garrett
