DwayneEMTP Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hey LS, Speaking for myself, no apology, in any form is necessary! Your passion for correctness is vital, I was only questioning the productivity of the tone of the message. You know as well as anyone that attempting to foster good spelling, grammar, and above all, logic, is, and should be a constant goal of those that mentor others here...I just wanted to make sure you felt that the message you seemed (to me) to be sending, was the message you intended to deliver. I often go off in the ditch, I hope you'll yank me up short when/if you believe that I'm negatively effecting the efforts of those that we are here to share knowledge with. And I was completely sincere when thanking you for the corrections. Just filling in posts does no one any good here...they need to be accurate...it was a kindness that you took the time to point out what many of us missed. Have a great day LS!
