To answer your obvious innuendo Crono, I cannot. I did bow out in the end. What more would you wish of me?

I can only judge by, what I see on the store shelves. If thats not good enough to qualify an opinion considering its my money that bought it, what else is there? I may not have an educated opinion but I do have an uneducated one that is of no less value.

I can however acknowledge that not having a working knowledge does omit a vital piece of my viewpoint but here again I have been in middle management within other companies before and the bulls**t at the top levels is probably similar in each case. People at the top are never as cognizant as they think they are where trouble issues are concerned.

All I can say is, this discussion went as well as can be expected. It was however a good thing that no one was around to inflame it. " SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Whether things will be taken wrong or not is entirely within your ability to forestall. It is however easily done since people do it to me on many occasions but with a bit of time and patience they eventually grasp my meaning even if my point is still wrong in their opinion. I am sure that when it happens to you that you are also able to rectify the incident.

God dammit.

God dammit.

God dammit.

God dammit.

God dammit.

God dammit.

I had this long reply and the stinking site lost it AGAIN!!!!!!

Crono, I am weird. Learn my peculiar speech patterns and accept them instead of attempting in vain to alter them to suit your idea of "Proper"

If I say something wrong, ask for clarification. If you continue to misunderstand me its a sign of your lack in communicating. I can understand people doing it a few time but repeating it makes you look dumb.

Part of communication is learning the nuances of each others habits. I continuously say things that seem on the surface to be improper but afterward they eventually make sense to most.

Anyway, I am sorry to sound so rude this time but losing my post truly pissed me off and it was actually well thought out and courteous. Talk about dumb, I still forget to copy/paste. How damned hard headed is that?

In the end, if I say something improper assume its my peculiarness and things might progress past this constant tit for tat thing.

Crono, I want you to contemplate something tonight. I know your first impulse will be to answer now, but I am serious, do not reply until you have thought about this in detail.

Since you and I are the only ones currently in discussion we can limit this to just ourselves.

Now, I do not for a moment consider you stupid, but I am painfully aware that you are slow on certain subjects, namely my peculiar habits of speech patterns.

Now, do not for a moment think that I am not aware of my own habits, they have been my bane for quite some time. What I want you to think about is, do you not know that you yourself are not weird free? Have you not noticed that I do not call into account every nuance you spout daily? You have an incredibly annoying habit of correcting people you have no need of doing. True, this is an open forum and each and every topic is open to the world but you seem to relish going on and on endlessly without any thought as to whom you are addressing.

My point is, I accept you as is. I am not, nor will I ever ask you to comply to my ways of thinking. I do however expect the notion to be reciprocated. I am not in need of your corrections, I am not desirable of your attentions concerning my peculiarities at all. I just expect you to accept them as is.

This is not a retaliation, nor a shifting of blame unto another. This is a request for acceptance from you to desist this constant tit for tat.

Again, I ask you to think on this tonight before you reply. Unless your post contains some hope that you will however reluctantly accept me as is, I will ignore any alternative post.

Have a good night.
