Sorry if I make people feel that way
It is not my intention to do so.
The internet is a tough place since you can not see the expression on someones face while talking.
emoticons (smilies) help somewhat , but can be taken several ways , and sometimes the wrong way.
I guess I can be rather opinionated at times , although I try to be as open-minded as I can. At times I will play the "devils advocate" to get someone to think, or just think for themselves.
I do believe that "you can feed a man a fish and he will not be hungry for the day, but if you teach him to fish, he will never go hungry again."
Sometimes perhaps I do try to "teach" when , perhaps it is not really needed, but I do like to be as clear as possible.
I am sorry if I come across as short, rude, or "all knowing" ...I am not. I started this forum , and have read every post made, as well as most of the ones deleted and long gone.
In my attempt to keep the information gathered together, and cross linked, I do post links to old topics at times. It is not to admonish those who do not search, but to point out topics that they may not have found in their search.
In summary, I would say that I am not the oldest, or wisest here. I just try to do my best to keep the free flow of information going.
It is just the internet, don't take it personally
